JavaScript BigInt: Handling Large Integers with Exact Precision

You likely hit the "safe integer limit" of the standard Number type (2^53-1). Because JavaScript uses IEEE 754 floating-point math, precision is lost beyond this point. The fix: Enter BigInt. Introduced in ES2020, BigInt handles arbitrarily large integers with exact precision, limited only by your system's memory. Check out the whiteboard below for a quick breakdown.
