handling large numbers javascript

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 08.2004

Hi all,

I am stuck in handling very large numbers in Javascript. Numbers that are greater than 2147483648 ( I think this is the int limit ). Does Javascript accept unsigned long data types (or) is there some other way to handle this?. I am trying to do a bitwise OR of this large number. Bitwise OR with any other number returns me a negative result. Can any one help me out. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

In what context do you have the problem?

Does this work for you:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

<head>

<title>Untitled</title>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

<!--

var x=2147483648000000;

alert(x+'n'+parseInt(x*2));

//-->

</script>

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

??

Cheers - Pit

@AdamGundryMar 08.2004 — The JavaScript Number class has a property MAX_VALUE which gives the largest number it can hold. On my system it is 1.7976931348623157e+308, which should be large enough for just about anything.
