## Memory

Maximum number of nodes to allocate

  Internally all data is put onto small nodes in memory. This gives a limit on the maximum number of nodes to allocate for computations. This limit avoids the problem of running out of memory if you do something by mistake that uses too much memory, such as a recursion without end. This could slow your computer and make it hard to even interrupt the program.

  Once the limit is reached, Genius Mathematics Tool asks if you wish to interrupt the computation or if you wish to continue. If you continue, no limit is applied and it will be possible to run your computer out of memory. The limit will be applied again next time you execute a program or an expression on the Console regardless of how you answered the question.

  Setting the limit to zero means there is no limit to the amount of memory that genius uses.
