Abstract
A counter has a memory which stores at least three continuous numerical values and a controller which rewrites a lowest numerical value to a numerical value obtained by adding 1 to a largest numerical value within said continuous numerical values stored in the memory and discriminates whether or not said numerical values stored in the memory are continuous to judge a count error. When said numerical values stored in the memory are not continuous, the noncontinuous numerical value is corrected by adding 1 to the largest value of other continuous numerical values stored in said memory.
