General::nord

Details

  • This message is generated when complex numbers occur in functions such as Min or Greater that make numerical comparisons of real numbers.
  • This message is often generated indirectly by other functions that internally make comparisons of real numbers.
  • Off[message] switches off the message; On[message] switches it on. For example: Off[General::nord].

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Min is not defined for complex numbers:

Wolfram Language code: Min[{3 + I, 3 - I, 4 + I, 4 - I}]

Complex numbers can be ordered in other ways, such as using Sort or OrderedQ:

Wolfram Language code: Sort[{3 + I, 3 - I, 4 + I, 4 - I}]
Wolfram Language code: OrderedQ[{3 + I, 3 - I, 4 + I, 4 - I}]
