JavaScript converts a large INT to scientific notation when the number becomes large. How can I prevent this from happening?
I think there may be several similar answers, but here's a thing I came up with
// If you're gonna tell me not to use 'with' I understand, just,
// it has no other purpose, ;( andthe code actually looks neater
// 'with' it but I will edit the answer if anyone insists
var commas = false;
function digit(number1, index1, base1) {
with (Math) {
return floor(number1/pow(base1, index1))%base1;
}
}
function digits(number1, base1) {
with (Math) {
o = "";
l = floor(log10(number1)/log10(base1));
for (var index1 = 0; index1 < l+1; index1++) {
o = digit(number1, index1, base1) + o;
if (commas && i%3==2 && i
Note: this is only as accurate as the javascript math functions and has problems when using log instead of log10 on the line before the for loop; it will write 1000 in base-10 as 000 so I changed it to log10 because people will mostly be using base-10 anyways.
This may not be a very accurate solution but I'm proud to say it can successfully translate numbers across bases and comes with an option for commas!
