OutOfBoundsError

Bases: ValueError

A generic exception that can be used to signal that a (float) value is outside its expected range.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
actual float

The actual value that is outside its expected range.

required
name str | None

The name of the offending variable.

None
lower_bound Bound | None

The lower bound of the expected range. Use None if there is no lower Bound.

None
upper_bound Bound | None

The upper bound of the expected range. Use None if there is no upper Bound.
