Exact message you may see
Invalid array length
Seen on:
JavaScript
Meaning
new Array(n) with n negative/NaN, or array.length set to an invalid value. Often n comes from a failed calculation.
Common causes
- new Array(-1) or new Array(NaN)
- Length from a bad calculation or input
- Infinite loop pushing until memory limits
⚡ Quick fix
- Validate n is a non-negative integer
- Use Array.from({ length: n })
Detailed fix by platform
JavaScript
- `const n = Math.max(0, Math.floor(count)
- 0); const rows = Array.from({ length: n }, () => []);`
How to diagnose
