☜	Error Code M92 M[UMPS] by Example					☞

M92, Mathematical overflow

Approved for inclusion in a future M[UMPS] language standard.

This error will occur when the result of a mathematical operation yields a result that is too large (in absolute value) to be represented as a number. Each of
Set N=1 For  Set N=N*2
Set N=-1 For  Set N=N*2
will eventually produce this error.

On the other hand
Set N=1 For  Set N=N/2 Quit:'N
will eventually terminate when the value of N is small enough that the next division by two will yield a zero value.
