Common errors

  • Bounds are non-integer or `to < from`.
    Returns `1` (empty product) or throws.
  • A required field is missing or has the wrong type.
    Zod validation error, e.g. `Required` or `Expected string, received number`.
  • Nerdamer cannot parse the expression (unbalanced parens, unknown function, stray characters).
    `Unexpected token …` or `… is not a valid expression`.
