1407   Invalid argument passed to method

Cause

This error occurs if the argument supplied to a primitive method is invalid. The following methods can return this error if they receive an invalid argument:

• arcos

• arcsin

• arctan

• asUuid

• cos

• exp

• log

• log10

• sin

• sqrt

• tan

For example, as the negative argument in (-1.0).sqrt is invalid, this error is raised.

Action

You can find an explanation of the error in the errorItem property of the exception. This explanation identifies the method in error and the reason for the exception. The reason can be one of the following.

• The argument was not in the domain of the function; for example, log(-1).

• The argument would result in a singularity.

• The argument would produce a function result greater than Max_Real; for example, exp(1000).

• The argument would produce a function result less than Min_Real; for example, exp(-1000).

• The argument would produce a function result with total loss of significant digits; for example, sin(10e70).

• The argument was not formatted as a valid UUID representation.
