Yeah, I knew that it allowed imaginary numbers, but I haven't learn them at school yet =P

Oh.  If this isn't too intrusive, may I ask what math level you're currently taking?

Out of how many grades? I don't know the Portugal schooling system.

Also, could you post the original program you had instead of nemo's one that fixed the issue. I think we're all still curious about what was originally going on with the error and that would help figure it out.

(sorry, but I had to optimize a little  ;D)

Code: [Select]
:ClrHome
:a+bi                             (Found in the [MODE] menu, allows imaginary numbers)
:Disp "AX²+BX+C=0
:Prompt A,B,C
:√(B²/4-AC
:Pause -B/(2A)+{Ans,-Ans

This won't use L₁, either. If you do want to store it to L₁, then just do Ans→L₁ after running the program because Ans will contain the results.

And I has to optimize it more. :P Also, your code doesn't work; it would have to be √(B²/4-AC)/A :(
Code: [Select]
:ClrHome
:Disp "AX²+BX+C=0
:Prompt A,B,C
:Pause -(B+{1,-1}√(B²+4i²AC))/(2A
Doesn't even change the mode settings ;D

O.o
That's hyper-optimized!  If you remove the ClrHome and the Disp, you can get it to be under 50 bytes!
Does using i allow for an imaginary output even if you don't mess with the mode settings?

Indeed :) A number that's already "imaginary" (even if that imaginary part is 0) will not give an error when you try to take its square root.
