RangeError: precision {0} out of range (Firefox)
RangeError: toExponential() argument must be between 0 and 20 (Chrome)
RangeError: toFixed() digits argument must be between 0 and 20 (Chrome)
RangeError: toPrecision() argument must be between 1 and 21 (Chrome)
Error type
What went wrong?
There was an out of range precision argument in one of these methods:
The allowed range for these methods is usually between 0 and 20 (or 21). However, the ECMAScript specification allows to extend this range.
| Method | Firefox (SpiderMonkey) | Chrome, Opera (V8) |
|---|---|---|
Number.prototype.toExponential() |
0 to 100 | 0 to 20 |
Number.prototype.toFixed() |
-20 to 100 | 0 to 20 |
Number.prototype.toPrecision() |
1 to 100 | 1 to 21 |
