There is no "int" or "float" (mostly[1]) — there is only Number, which is an IEEE floating point. A literal `1` is a floating point that happens to be precisely representing an integer. "53 bits" happens to be the limit of consecutive integers that you can store in an IEEE double. [1]: 32-bit integers show up under the hood, in expressions such as `5000000000|0`. Both 0 and 5000000000 are precisely represented in JS's Number type, but you cannot (correctly) take a binary OR of the two. |
