The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

Should we also point out under which circumstances those functions behaviours are undefined?

What does it mean to say that error and undefined are "not even partial"? As far as I know, a function is either total or partial. If a function is not defined for any point, surely it is partial?

@Rcaetano I meant that they are not defined at any point --- the only purpose of these functions is to signal a pure exception. I don't know what the terminology is for this --- please update with the proper terminology if you know what it is :-)
