Javascript: how to avoid scientific notation when displaying large unumber

Question

Based on http://users.dickinson.edu/~braught/courses/cs131s99/Lessons/03-Out&Data.html, for readability, JavaScript uses scientific notation to display very large numbers (absolute value greater than or equal to 1021). For example, the write statement

document.write(1000000000000000000000000);

would produce the output 1e24

Can I avoid scientific notation display?

Thanks

Answer 1

It’s not for readability. If an integer is larger than 2⁵³ (9007199254740992), then JavaScript cannot guarantee its exact storage. In your case the number is actually 999999999999999983222784.

You can use something like YourJS.fullNumber(). For instance you could try something like YourJS.fullNumber(1e20) to produce 100000000000000000000. Try out your own code here:
