Abstract
An apparatus and method that use an associative calculator for calculating a sequence of non-associative operations on a set of input data, comprising: using the associative calculator to calculate from the set of input data an evaluated value of each operation of said sequence as if the non-associative operations were associative operations; detecting if some of the evaluated values are erroneous; if there are erroneous evaluated values, correcting the erroneous evaluated values; and if there are no erroneous evaluated value, outputting as the result of the sequence of non-associative operations the evaluated value of the last operation of the sequence.
