how to use the sequenceerror function from the rxjs library in javascript

The sequenceError function is used to create an error object that can be thrown in case an observable sequence violates the expected sequence of notification types. Here's how to use it in JavaScript with the RxJS library:

import { sequenceError } from 'rxjs';

// defining an observable sequence that violates the expected sequence
const observable$ = from([1, 2, 3, 'a', 5]).pipe(
  map(value => {
    if (typeof value === 'number') {
      return value * 2;
    }
    // if the observable emits a non-numeric value, throw a sequence error
    throw sequenceError('Expected a number but got ' + value);
  })
);

observable$.subscribe({
  next: value => console.log(value),
  error: err => console.error(err)
});

In the example above, we create an observable sequence that emits numbers, but at some point in the stream, it emits a non-numeric value ('a'). When this happens, we throw a sequence error using the sequenceError function, passing a message with details about the error. This will cause the observable to immediately throw an error, which will be caught by the error handler passed in the subscribe method.

This can be useful when you want to ensure that the observable sequence emits values in a certain order or type, and you want to handle unexpected values as errors.
