15 Significant digit limit about bignumber.js

[MikeMcl]

Yes, I discussed this in #11.

Basically, with double precision values there is no guarantee that decimal numbers with sixteen significant digits or more will be represented precisely. For example,

console.log( 823456789123456.3 );    // 823456789123456.2

In any case, the 15 s.d. limit can be turned off with

BigNumber.config({ ERRORS: false });

Thanks for that, don't know how I missed it.

I don't particularly want to turn off the error, it will come in very useful, but what I had hoped is that if I enter the value as a string ("9007199254740991") rather than a number type (9007199254740991) then I wouldn't experience the error. That is what you also seem to suggest in the other thread, but it does not work for me, perhaps I am missing something else?

Ok, it must be something that I am doing locally in my app, as it works in a jsfiddle without the rest of my code. Thanks once again.
