# out of bounds
|
|
|
|
The behavior of functions whose parameter values are out of bounds.
|
|
|
|
Many of the @boardname@ functions have parameters. If a parameter is an unexpected value, the parameter is considered *out of bounds*.
|
|
|
|
For example, the [plot](/reference/led/plot) function has two parameters:
|
|
|
|
### syntax
|
|
|
|
```sig
|
|
led.plot(0,0)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### parameters
|
|
|
|
* x - the *x coordinate* or horizontal position (0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
|
|
* y - the *y coordinate* or vertical position (0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
|
|
|
|
### out of bounds
|
|
|
|
here's an example of code with an out of bounds parameter (the *x* and *y* parameters are outside the expected range of 0-4):
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
led.plot(9, -21)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### what happens?
|
|
|
|
Typically, when a parameter supplied to a function is out of bounds that function does nothing (as if the function never executed). So, in the above case, the LED screen will not change.
|
|
|
|
### return value
|
|
|
|
If you call the `point` function with an out of bounds parameter, the function returns `false`:
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
let on = led.point(5, -5)
|
|
```
