Error detection

The "times" function (but not the VERY similar "multiplication" function) will return a error like this: "", if the second parameter is 0, unless the third parameter is set to 1. This works by using the code below.

if num2 == 0 and errordetect ~= 1 then
   return RError("You cannot multiply a number by zero.")
else
   return num1 * num2
end

Anti-not-a-number mechanism

The "division" function (and it's similar "div" function) will normally return "-nan" if all 3 parameters are set to 0, but if the third parameter is 1, it will return "1" instead. This works with the code below:

if num1 == 0 and num2 == 0 and antinotanumber == 1 then
		return 1
	else
		return num1 / num2
	end
