I recently encountered a weird behavior while using Javascript in NodeJS and chrome. It looks like it doesn't support some numbers. When I do console.log(05042020) it displays 13128144. It happens in NodeJS and Chrome but when I do console.log(1000000000) it prints fine.

Please see the screenshot attached as a proof.enter image description here:

Without strict mode, a zero-prefix marks an octal number. – ASDFGerte Apr 05 '20 at 18:56

Thank You. I was trying to store dates. I guess I would use strings to store them. – Shubham Sehgal Apr 05 '20 at 18:59
