[comp.sys.mac.programmer] hypercard

sven@cs.widener.edu (Sven Heinicke) (01/04/91)

I was working on a Euclid algorithm in hypercard and after I finished I trie
tried to act like a dumb user and after fooling around a bit I type:

	put line 1 of card field input / line 2 of card field input

the field input was empty and I got a NAN(004), anybody know what that means?

"NAN" is SANE for "Not A Number." (You were dividing by the empty set: 
undefined
by any math that I have heard of).
