Dear All,
I'm trying to use the error messages available at
https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.0.2/en_US/error_table.html
However, I cannot find one that describes precisely what is wrong.
My argument is any scalar, vector, matrix or N-D array of real or
complex numbers.
If I use
"%s: Argument #%d: Decimal or complex number expected.\n"
it may convey the idea that only scalars are admissible. I think the
word "number" jeopardizes the message. It would be better if the word
"type" were clearly mentioned, for instance "Wrong input type: %d
expected.\n"
If I use
"%s: Argument #%d: Hypermatrix expected.\n"
it may be interpreted as if, for instance, a polynomial hypermatrix
would be acceptable.
Testing abs() on a string yields
--> abs("hello")
in builtin abs
Function not defined for given argument type(s),
check arguments or define function %c_abs for overloading.
This gives a hint where is the problem, but does not indicate what type
is expected, which would be more useful.
Regards,
Federico Miyara
