How to handle large numbers (over 2^53) in JavaScript - use BigInt
BigInt is a new data type in JavaScript that allows you to represent very large integer numbers that exceed the standard Number type. The regular number type in JavaScript limits us to a range of around -2^53 to 2^53, which is quite restrictive for some applications. With BigInt, we can work with integer values of virtually any size, opening up many possibilities for mathematical, financial, and scientific calculations. Creating a BigInt is straightforward; you can do this by appending 'n' to the end of a number (e.g., 123n) or by using the BigInt() function. It is essential to remember that BigInt is not compatible with the Number type, so operations between these two types may lead to errors. Examples of using BigInt include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations that work with large numbers, helping developers further enhance applications that require high precision with integers.
