Subtracting long numbers in javascript

Question

Why is q == 0 in the following script?

Answer 1

function add(x, y) {
    //*********************************************************************//
    // This function adds or subtracts two extremely large decimal numbers //
    // Inputs x and y should be numbers, i.e. commas are removed already   //
    // Use this function to remove commas and convert to number:           //
    // x = parseFloat(strNumber.replaceAll(",","").trim());                //
    // Inputs x and y can be both positive, or both negative,              //
    // or a combination (i.e. one positive and one negative in any         //
    // position whether as x or as y) which means subtraction              //
    //*********************************************************************//

    var temp, borrow=false, bothNeg=false, oneNeg=false, neg=false;
    if (x < 0 && y < 0) { bothNeg = true; x = -x; y = -y; }

        else if (x < 0 && Math.abs(x) < Math.abs(y)) { temp = y; y = x; x = temp; }
        else if (y < 0 && Math.abs(x) < Math.abs(y)) { neg = true; temp = y; y = -x; x = -temp; }
    }
    x = parseInt(x*1000000000/10).toString();
    y = parseInt(y*1000000000/10).toString();
    var lenx=x.length, leny=y.length, len=(lenx>leny)?lenx:leny, sum="", div=0, x1, y1, rem;

        else { rem=(x1+y1+div)%10; div=Math.floor((x1+y1+div)/10); }
        sum = Math.abs(rem).toString() + sum;
    }
    if (div > 0) sum = div.toString() + sum;
