Suppose I want the exact value for 2^1000. How am I supposed to get the entire value? Maybe storing it in a string every time the multiplication is done, but it will still eventually go over 10 digits! Is there any way, or does ECMAScript just not support this?
Math.pow(2,1000)
returns
1.0715086071862673e+301
how accurate do you need this to be?

I'm kind of new to javascript and I was wondering if there was a better alternative to slice. I'm currently using window.location.slice at the moment and it feels like I could be using a better alternative. If you've ever used express.js you might have heard of "req.query.id", something like that in raw javascript would be perfect. Thanks, Alek.

I was reading this question about how to check if a variable is an Array in Javascript, and this answer proposes several solutions:
1. variable.constructor === Array
2. Array.isArray(variable)
3. variable instanceof Array
The post has several updates and they touch on the efficiency of the different solutions, but between the post and its comments it isn't entirely clear which solution is the most efficient. I'm hoping to clarify which of these solutions provides the most efficient check for whether or not a variable is an Array in JavaScript.
Edit: I'd like to note that this question is about the performance of checking whether or not a variable is an Array and not how to check if a variable is an Array. Considering all the noise in the linked question, I believe there is value to the question.
Thanks to the comments I received, I realized I missed a link to a benchmark, which I then edited to determine that variable instanceof Array is the most efficient of the solutions I was asking about in my question when using Chrome 74. Here is the benchmark.

Variable name length vs performance

Is it possible that a long method or variable name slows down your javascript program a bit?
I wanted to ask because I am currently working on a program where i have a very long method identifier and I wonder if I should shrink it. It would however make my code not so clear anymore.
I know it doesn't matter for compiled languages but what about javascript?
P.S. I do not plan to use a minifier.
Generally, function name length, variable name length, etc, should have no bearing on performance, unless you're talking name length in hundreds of thousands of characters.

In Javascript following number
9999999999999999.99
Gets converted in to
10000000000000000
How can I prevent this behaviour?
It's my understanding that the best way to deal with this is to do all your calculations in whole numbers, and divide by 100 (or plus as many zeros as needed) afterwards.
If you absolutely need to use decimals, this post contains a lot of useful information that should be of use to you.

javascript test for existence of nested object key
In JavaScript, is there an easier way to check if a property of a property exists?
I've been searching for an elegant way to verify if the entire object path is defined.
For example: person.positions.values[0].company.name
On every step of the way, after the person, it can be undefined.
Can this be done without actually going through them one by one?
Thank you.
