The Range Error indicates an error when a value is not in the set or range of allowed values.

A Range Error is thrown when trying to pass a value as an argument to a function that does not allow a range that includes the value.

This can be encountered when:

• passing a value that is not one of the allowed string values to String.prototype.normalize(), or
• when attempting to create an array of an illegal length with the Array constructor, or
• when passing bad values to the numeric methods
