ReferenceErrorintermediate

ReferenceError — throw and catch

📖 Usage Example

try {
  null.property
} catch (e) {
  // this is a TypeError, not ReferenceError
  e instanceof TypeError  // → true
}

Distinguish ReferenceError (undeclared variable) from TypeError (wrong type operation).

Catching ReferenceError

You can manually throw and catch a ReferenceError.

Challenge: Throw a ReferenceError and return its .name from the catch block.
