What Happened?
There is a precision argument that is out of range in one of the methods, toExponential(), toFixed(), and toPrecision().
Example 1: In this example, the RangeError occurred as -100 to toFixed() is passed.
Javascript
function Geeks() { try { 3.54.toFixed(-100); console.log("'Precision out of range'" + " error has not occurred"); } catch (e) { console.log("'Precision out of range'" + " error has occurred"); }}Geeks(); |
Output:
'Precision out of range' error has occurred
Example 2: In this example, the argument passed to toExponential() is -4, So the RangeError has occurred.
Javascript
function Geeks() { try { 77.1234.toExponential(-4); console.log("'Precision out of range'" + " error has not occurred"); } catch (e) { console.log("'Precision out of range'" + " error has occurred"); }} Geeks(); |
Output:
'Precision out of range' error has occurred
Example 3: In this example, the RangeError occurred as -1 to toPrecision() is passed.
Javascript
function Geeks() { try { 5643.9.toPrecision(-1); console.log("'Precision out of range'" + " error has not occurred"); } catch (e) { console.log("'Precision out of range'" + " error has occurred"); }} Geeks(); |
