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:

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'"
