The Number isSafeInteger() method
Find out all about the JavaScript isSafeInteger() method of the Number object
A number might satisfy Number.isInteger()
but not Number.isSafeInteger()
if it goes out of the boundaries of safe integers, which I explained above.
So, anything over 2^53
and below -2^53
is not safe:
Number.isSafeInteger(Math.pow(2, 53)) // false
Number.isSafeInteger(Math.pow(2, 53) - 1) // true
Number.isSafeInteger(Math.pow(2, 53) + 1) // false
Number.isSafeInteger(-Math.pow(2, 53)) // false
Number.isSafeInteger(-Math.pow(2, 53) - 1) // false
Number.isSafeInteger(-Math.pow(2, 53) + 1) // true
