Responds "Yes" to 9007199254740990, 9007199254740991, 9007199254740992 but "No" to 9007199254740991, 9007199254740992, 9007199254740993 Presumably this

Responds "Yes" to 9007199254740990, 9007199254740991, 9007199254740992 but "No" to 9007199254740991, 9007199254740992, 9007199254740993 Presumably this is due to how Javascript handles integers, i.e. it uses the integer part of a float64, to wit > parseInt('9007199254740992') 9007199254740992 > parseInt('9007199254740993') 9007199254740992 Edit: I think this is the code that actually reads the numbers the user enters, see [0] function l(){ var a=h.exec(m[1]),f=null,g=null,n=null; return a&&(null!==a[1]&&a[1]&&(f=parseInt(a[1],10)), null!==a[2]&&a[2]&&(g=parseInt(a[2],10)), null!==a[3]&&a[3]&&(n=parseInt(a[3],10))), new e(f,g,n) } Edit(2): Actually, I'm not so sure that's the correct code at all. They NYT game is capable of parsing floats correctly (e.g. it accepts 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 as a "Yes") so it's not just using parseInt.

The actual code seems to be from here [0] on line 588 is the comparison var rightWrong = (inputData[0] < inputData[1]) & (inputData[1] < inputData[2]) ? right : wrong; With a variable declaration on line 545 being var inputData = [NaN, NaN, NaN], revealed = false, right = "Yes!", wrong = "No."; And `inputData` is changed on text input on line 662 $("#g-input input").each(function(i) { var val = $(this).val(); inputData[i] = $.isNumeric(val) ? Number(val) : NaN; }); It uses the `Number()` function to convert from the input text to an actual number, so it can convert any number format defined by ES5[1] or ES6[2]. So in ES6 you can use binary (0b, 0B) and octal (0o, 0O) formatting along with exponential (1e-2) and hex (0x, 0X). Binary and octal works for me currently on Chrome 43 OS X.
