- withinboredom 2y agoThe comment said IEEE754 doubles can represent integers to 2^52. But I missed the double or assumed float. Floats cannot do that and it would be disastrous to assume so. For that matter, doubles also have some pretty big issues when you do operations on them (loss of precision), but as long as you are purely doing integer operations, it “should” be fine. A practical example with non-integers: 35 + -34.99
