# existence_error/2

## Description

    existence_error(Thing, Culprit)

Throws an existence error. This built-in method is declared private and thus cannot be used as a message to an object. Calling this predicate is equivalent to the following sequence of calls:

    ...,
    context(Context),
    throw(error(existence_error(Thing,Culprit), Context)).

This allows the user to generate errors in the same format used by the runtime.

## Modes and number of proofs

    existence_error(@nonvar, @nonvar) - error

## Errors

When called:
`existence_error(Thing, Culprit)`

## Examples

    ...,
    \+ current_object(payroll),
    existence_error(object, payroll).
