max integer value in JavaScript

Question

I\'m reading the second chapter of the book Eloquent JavaScript. The author states that:

Any whole number less than 2^52 (which is more than 10^

Answer 1

This is not a strongly typed programming language. JS has an object Number. You can even get an infinite number: document.write(Math.exp(1000));.

document.write(Number.MIN_VALUE + "
");
document.write(Number.MAX_VALUE + "
");

document.write(Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY + "
");
document.write(Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY + "
");

    alert([
         Number.MAX_VALUE/(1e293),
         Number.MAX_VALUE/(1e292),
         Number.MAX_VALUE/(1e291),
         Number.MAX_VALUE/(1e290),
    ].join('\n'))

Hope it's a useful answer. Thanks!
