Again, you're fudging. The error conditions are already caught by the
code that's in the calculator's ROMs right now! But they cannot be trapped
gracefully; the program stops dead.

Again, the calculator already catches errors in the data.

If you cannot conceive of applications other than homework for a
programmable calculator, well.... Let's just say that you lack imagination.
