Error 1: Improper Matrix Operation

Applying an operation other than a matrix operation to a matrix, that is,
attempting a nonmatrix operation while a matrix is in the relevant register
(whether the X- or Y-register or a storage register).

Error 2: Improper Statistics Operation

n = 0
S n ≤ 1
j n ≤ 1
L n ≤ 1

Error 2
