duplicating javscript math errors

[mikebates]

I am trying to replicate javascript maths functions in php. I have been successful with everything up to additions.

Here are some examples, I can't see a pattern here that indicates exactly how javascript is screwing it up. Does anyone know **exactly** what javascript is doing?

I assume it's converting the integers into floating points and losing accuracy there, but I don;t know what floating point it's converting into, I also don't see why it would make a difference wha the first figure in a large number is when doing an addition, but apparently it does???

In the examples it's the 1000's and lower that get screwed up.

Example 1, add x20575940379279400 to 13510798882111488, where x is 1 to 9

This is because the long datatype is not existent in JavaScript. For that, you will have to use an additional library. Just in case you don't want to go there, the included files are also attached.

<div style="font: 14px monospace;">
<script type="text/javascript" src="mathcontext.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="bigdecimal.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
for (var i = 1; i <= 9; i++) {
  var firstNumber = parseInt(i + "20575940379279400", 10);
  var secondNumber = 13510798882111488;
  var finalNumber = parseInt(firstNumber, 10) + secondNumber;

  var v1 = new BigDecimal(firstNumber.toString());
  var v2 = new BigDecimal(secondNumber.toString());
  finalNumber = v1.add(v2);

  document.write("&nbsp; " + firstNumber + "<br />+&nbsp; " + secondNumber);
  document.write("<br />--------------------<br />&nbsp; " + finalNumber)
  document.write("<br /><br />");
}
</script>
</div>
