Does anyone know?

I’ve already seen a bunch, but it would be cool if we had a list.

`variable cannot support multiple update rules`

`Sorry, I don’t understand this`

`x and y cannot be defined in terms of each other`

`Try adding y= to the beginning of this equation.`

Googling says there’s dozens, but they’re also dynamic and context specific. One you might find fun is [this reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/desmos/comments/1ntbvct/the_most_errors_in_5_characters_20_of_them/).

Just checked it out… wow thats a lot of errors.

There are some pretty rare ones, like i recently got “Cannot call .count to a number” or something like that. So yes, you’re right. They are pretty context specific, so maybe calling them rare is wrong.

i cant even figure out the .count function, in my experience it just takes the number and outputs it lol

`.count` is the length of a list. In standard graphs, it is exactly the same as `.length`. However, in geometry graphs, `.length` is a figure measurement, so `.count` was added as an alternative. Eventually, graph types may merge, so it’s best to use `.count` for list length.

So they should be 361

I was thinking about using the list of errors for a game:

- randomly select an error
- then try to write an expression in Desmos to get that error

It is interesting and kind of fun.

For example, say you randomly select error:

- 339: The left hand side of ‘{ $arrow }’ should be a variable name like ‘{ $example }’.

then you look for an expression that gives that error,  
for example:

- 2 → 5

We could try and create an example for each error …  
Here’s a shared file where, for each error, we can write a Desmos expression that  
gets that error:

> shared-calculator-error-3d-bad-equality-slice = We don’t support this type of equality restriction. Example: shared-calculator-error-3d-length-type-error = Function ‘{ $fn }’ cannot be applied to { $arg } in the 3d calculator. Example: Use ‘{...

I created an example for error 16 … use the same style and fonts if you create any examples

So, I found examples for errors 1 and 2 …  
can you find an expression that gives error 3?  
**3: “Cannot apply both an inequality restriction and an equality restriction to this expression”.**

or error 4:  
**4: “Cannot apply more than one equality restriction”.**
