Javascript Statement: Throw

The throw statement allows you to create an exception in JavaScript. It is used together with try...catch blocks to control program flow and generate error messages when exceptions are thrown. The throw statement syntax is "throw(exception)" where the exception can be a string, number, boolean, or object. An example checks the value of a variable against thresholds, throwing different errors messages using try...catch if the value is too high, too low, or not a number.

error"
#xample
The example below determines the value of a variable called x. If the value of x is higher than $%,
lower than %, or not a number, we are going to throw an error. The error is then caught by the catch
argument and the proper error message is displayed&
#xample
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var x=prompt("Enter a number between 0 and 0!"""")#
try
$
i%(x>0)
$
throw "Err"#
&
else i%(x<0)
$
throw "Err'"#
&
else i%(is(a((x))
$
throw "Err)"#
&
&
catch(er)
$
i%(er=="Err")
$
alert("Error* +he value is too hi,h")#
&
i%(er=="Err'")
$
alert("Error* +he value is too low")#
&
i%(er=="Err)")
$
alert("Error* +he value is not a number")#
&
&
</script>
