Class Description

The range_error class is derived from the runtime_error class.
The range_error class represents exceptions that are occur because
some piece of the software component that causes the exception is attempting
to work with a value that is either to large or to small to represent in
the current environment. The value is a legitimate value but beyond the
representation capabilities of the current machine. This is in contrast
to the out_of_range exception which represents values that are not legitimate
for operation they are involved in. This class represents
a node class and can therefore be used as a base class for user defined classes.
