Proper use of errors

I'm using TypeScript for a reasonably large project, and am wondering what the standard is for the use of Errors. For example, say I hand an index out of bounds exception in Java:

throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException();

Would the equivalent statement in TypeScript be:

throw new Error("Index Out of Bounds");

What other ways could I accomplish this? What is the accepted standard?

Someone posted this link to the MDN in a comment, and I think it was very helpful. It describes things like ErrorTypes very thoroughly.


EvalError --- Creates an instance representing an error that occurs regarding the global function eval().


InternalError --- Creates an instance representing an error that occurs when an internal error in the JavaScript engine is thrown. E.g.
"too much recursion".


RangeError --- Creates an instance representing an error that occurs when a numeric variable or parameter is outside of its valid
range.


ReferenceError --- Creates an instance representing an error that occurs when de-referencing an invalid reference.


SyntaxError --- Creates an instance representing a syntax error that occurs while parsing code in eval().


TypeError --- Creates an instance representing an error that occurs when a variable or parameter is not of a valid type.


URIError --- Creates an instance representing an error that occurs when encodeURI() or decodeURI() are passed invalid parameters.
