Error Messages
Common error messages and their solutions.
Parse Errors
"Unexpected token"
Cause: Invalid syntax in input expression.
Solution: Check for typos, missing parentheses, or unsupported syntax.
"Implicit multiplication ambiguity"
Cause: Parser cannot determine multiplication intent.
Solution: Add explicit * operator or use parentheses.
Domain Errors
"sqrt of negative number"
Cause: Attempting to compute square root of negative number in real domain.
Solution: Use complex domain or ensure argument is non-negative.
"Division by zero"
Cause: Expression evaluates to division by zero.
Solution: Check for zero denominators before evaluation.
"log of non-positive number"
Cause: Logarithm of zero or negative number in real domain.
Solution: Ensure argument is positive or use complex domain.
Solver Errors
"No solution exists"
Cause: Equation has no solution in the given domain.
Solution: Check equation for contradictions or domain restrictions.
"Cannot solve - equation too complex"
Cause: Solver cannot handle this equation type yet.
Solution: Try simplifying equation or use numerical methods.
