Many of users do not use powerful Maxima computer algebra system for systematic work, but for ad hoc algebraic calculations – equations, functions, matrixes, etc. only. To do this job, it is not useful to download the whole application from a web site.
Function: error (<expr_1>, ..., <expr_n>) -- System variable: error Evaluates and prints <expr_1>, ..., <expr_n>, and then causes an error return to top level Maxima or to the nearest enclosing errcatch.
The variable error is set to a list describing the error. The first element of error is a format string, which merges all the strings among the arguments <expr_1>, ..., <expr_n>, and the remaining elements are the values of any non-string arguments.
errormsg() formats and prints error. This is effectively reprinting the most recent error message.
There are also some inexact matches for error. Try ?? error to see them.
