# representation_error/1

## Description

    representation_error(Flag)

Throws a representation 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(representation_error(Flag), Context)).

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

## Modes and number of proofs

    representation_error(+atom) - error

## Errors

When called:
`representation_error(Flag)`

## Examples

    ...,
    Code > 127,
    representation_error(character_code).
