In javascript every variable we declare as var var irrespective of data type(int,String etc).

I got shocked when I faced something in javascript when trying to print a number begins with 0, it prints a awkward number.

E.G.

 var x=0622211646;

console.log(x); it prints this number :105452454

Why such awkward happens in javascript?
