i'm writing a small script which calculates very big numbers:

for (var i = 1; i<=256; i++) {
    var add = Math.pow(102, i);
    output += add;
    console.log(add);
}

the value add reaches Infinity in the 153th loop iteration. now the value in Math.pow can change and i need the correct output (not infinity). have anybody a trick or sth that could help me? thanks

@zerkms I swear I saw the java tag instead of the javascript one. My bad. Thanks for pointing that out. – Raul Rene Feb 23 '14 at 20:07
