Integers in JavaScript

Question

I\'m a beginner to Javascript so forgive me if I sound dumb because I learned some Javascript from W3Fools (which are really difficult tutorials - they don\'t explain anythi

Answer 1

There are really only a few data types in Javascript: Objects, numbers, and strings. As you read, JS numbers are all 64-bit floats. There are no ints.

Firefox 4 will have support for Typed Arrays, where you can have arrays of real ints and such: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript_typed_arrays

Until then, there are hackish ways to store integer arrays as strings, and plucking out each integers using charCodeAt().
