<p>Use the <code>throw</code> statement to throw an exception. When you throw an exception, you specify an expression containing the value of the exception:
</p>
<pre>throw expression
</pre>
<p>The following code throws several exceptions.
</p>
<pre>throw "Error2";    // generates an exception with a string value
throw 42;          // generates an exception with the value 42
throw true;        // generates an exception with the value true
</pre>
<p>You can specify an object when you throw an exception. You can then reference the object's properties in the <code>catch</code> block. The following example creates an object <code>myUserException</code> of type <code>UserException</code> and uses it in a throw statement.
</p>
<pre>// Create an object type UserException
function UserException (message) {
   this.message=message;
   this.name="UserException";
}
// Create an instance of the object type and throw it
myUserException=new UserException("Value too high");
throw myUserException;
</pre>
