what is a typical argument for a catch method in node js code example

Example 1: node js try catch

try {
  nonExistentFunction();
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
  // expected output: ReferenceError: nonExistentFunction is not defined
  // Note - error messages will vary depending on browser
}

Example 2: javascript try

var someNumber = 1;
try {
  someNumber.replace("-",""); //You can't replace a int
} catch(err) {
 console.log(err);
}
