Why does the following situation occur? Is the number 2**969 exactly a limit for this case?
console.log((Number.MAX_VALUE + 2 ** 969) == Number.MAX_VALUE) // true
console.log((Number.MAX_VALUE + 2 ** 970) == Number.MAX_VALUE) // false

`console.log(Number.MAX_VALUE - 2 ** 969); console.log(Number.MAX_VALUE - 2 ** 970);` shows the difference – mplungjan Nov 29 '22 at 19:47
