Error Conditions - Texas Instruments TI-84 PLUS - Graphing Calculator Manual Book

Error Conditions

When the TI-84 Plus detects an error, it returns an error message as a menu title, such as
or

ARCHIVED
Possible Causes and Suggested Remedies
You have attempted to use, edit, or delete an archived variable. For example,
the expression dim(L1) produces an error if L1 is archived.
You have attempted to archive a variable and there is not enough space in
archive to receive it.
A function or instruction does not have the correct number of arguments. See
Appendix A for function and instruction syntax.
Appendix A displays the arguments and punctuation needed to execute the
function or instruction. For example, stdDev(list[,freqlist]) is a function of the
TI-84 Plus. The arguments are shown in italics. The arguments in brackets are
optional and you need not type them. You must also be sure to separate
multiple arguments with a comma (,). For example, stdDev(list[,freqlist]) might
be entered as stdDev(L1) or stdDev(L1,L2) since the frequency list or freqlist is
optional.
You have attempted to send or receive an application and an error (e.g.
electrical interference) has occurred in the transmission.

You pressed the key to break execution of a program, to halt a DRAW
instruction, or to stop evaluation of an expression.
You entered a value or variable that is the wrong data type.
• For a function (including implied multiplication) or an instruction, you entered
an argument that is an invalid data type, such as a complex number where a
real number is required. See Appendix A and the appropriate chapter.
• In an editor, you entered a type that is not allowed, such as a matrix entered
as an element in the stat list editor. See the appropriate chapter.
• You attempted to store an incorrect data type, such as a matrix, to a list.
Your calculator displays the ERR:DIM MISMATCH error if you are trying to
perform an operation that references one or more lists or matrices whose
dimensions do not match. For example, multiplying L1*L2, where
L1={1,2,3,4,5} and L2={1,2} produces an ERR:DIM MISMATCH error because
the number of elements in L1 and L2 do not match.
