Limitations and Considerations

• Some operators don’t support mixed types (both operands must be BigInt or neither).
• Be cautious when coercing between BigInt and regular numbers (precision may be lost).
• Unsigned right shift (>>>) is not supported for BigInt.

Supported Browsers

The browsers supporting BigInt method are listed below:

• Google Chrome
• Edge

BigInt is a built-in object in JavaScript that provides a way to represent whole numbers larger than 2^⁵³ – 1. The largest number that JavaScript can reliably represent with the Number primitive is 2^⁵³ – 1, which is represented by the MAX_SAFE_INTEGER constant. BigInts are utilized in scenarios where operations on large numbers are necessary due to their ability to represent integers with arbitrary precision.

Syntax:

BigInt( number ) 
or
Appending n to end of an integer literal

• Parameters: It accepts a single integer literal as a string that needs to be represented as BigInt.
• Return Type: This method returns the given value as BigInt data type.
