<p>The <code><strong>RangeError</strong></code> object indicates an error when a value is not in the set or range of allowed values.</p>
<h2 id="Syntax">Syntax</h2>
<pre class="syntaxbox"><code>new RangeError([<var>message</var>[, <var>fileName</var>[, <var>lineNumber</var>]]])</code></pre>

<dl>
<dt><code>message</code></dt>

<h2 id="Description">Description</h2>
<p>A <code>RangeError</code> is thrown when trying to pass a number as an argument to a function that does not allow a range that includes that number. This can be encountered when attempting to create an array of an illegal length with the {{jsxref("Array")}} constructor, or when passing bad values to the numeric methods {{jsxref("Number.toExponential()")}}, {{jsxref("Number.toFixed()")}} or {{jsxref("Number.toPrecision()")}}.</p>

<dt>{{jsxref("RangeError.prototype")}}</dt>

<h2 id="Methods">Methods</h2>
<p>The global <code>RangeError</code> contains no methods of its own, however, it does inherit some methods through the prototype chain.</p>
