error

Maxima Function

Calling Sequence

error (expr_1, ..., expr_n)
error

Description

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.
