Name
RangeError: thrown when a number is out of its legal range â ECMAScript v3: Object â Error â RangeError
Constructor
new RangeError( )
new RangeError(message
)
Arguments
-
message
An optional error message that provides details about the exception. If specified, this argument is used as the value for the
message
property of the RangeError object.
Returns
A newly constructed RangeError object. If the
message
argument is specified, the
Error object uses it as the value of its message
property; otherwise, it uses an
implementation-defined default string as the value of that
property. When the RangeError(
)
constructor is called as a function, without the
new
operator, it behaves just
as it would when called with the new
operator.
Properties
-
message
An error message that provides details about the exception. This property holds the string passed to the constructor or an implementation-defined default string. See
Error.message
for details.-
name

Description
An instance of the RangeError class is thrown when a numeric
value is not in its legal range. For example, setting the length of
an array to a negative number causes a RangeError to be thrown. See
Error
for details about throwing
and catching exceptions.
