Can someone refresh my memory...What does the following mean?

Error: bad argument type: fixnump: nil

You are passing a nil argument to a funtion that is expecting a number.

Command: (setq a nil)
nil

Command: (1+ a)
; error: bad argument type: numberp: nil

I can get that error when:

Code: [Select]

_$ (itoa "a")
; error: bad argument type: fixnump: "a"

_$ (itoa nil)
; error: bad argument type: fixnump: nil

Thanks Jeff and Luis, to make more room in my brain, something has to get pushed out....see I just forgot something else.

I tried looking up fixnump in the help files without any luck.
