Study Notes
JavaScript Error Types
-
ReferenceError: This error happens when you use a variable that hasn't been declared. For example, attempting to use
username
without defining it first will produce a ReferenceError. -
SyntaxError: This error occurs due to incorrect JavaScript code structure. Invalid syntax, like missing operators (e.g., trying to assign a value without an assignment operator
=
), leads to a SyntaxError. -
TypeError: This error arises when a method or function is inappropriately used on a data type that doesn't support it. An example is trying to use the
.pop()
method on a string, because strings do not contain arrays to pop from. -
RangeError: This error is triggered when a value is outside the permissible range for a particular function or operation. For example, using base-100 as a parameter for the
.toString()
method is a RangeError, because the usual base is only 2 to 36.
