JavaScript RangeError – Radix must be an integer

This JavaScript exception radix must be an integer at least 2 and no greater than 36 occurs if the radix parameter of the Number.prototype.toString() or the BigInt.prototype.toString() method is passed and is not in range between 2 and 36.

Output message:

RangeError: invalid argument (Edge)
RangeError: radix must be an integer at least 2
            and no greater than 36 (Firefox)
RangeError: toString() radix argument must be 
            between 2 and 36 (Chrome)

Error Type:

RangeError

Cause of the error: When the optional radix parameter of the Number.prototype.toString() or the BigInt.prototype.toString() method is specified and not between 2 and 36, A radix that is greater than 10 starts using alphabet characters as digits which can not be larger than 36(Because alphabet has only 26 letters).

Example 1: In this example, the parameter passed is 2, So the error has not occurred.
