JavaScript Numbers

JavaScript has only one type of number.

Numbers can be written with, or without, decimals:

Example

var x = 3.14; // A number with decimals


var y = 34; // A number without decimals

Extra large or extra small numbers can be written with scientific (exponent) notation:

Example

var x = 123e5; // 12300000


var y = 123e-5; // 0.00123
