I am working in javascript and mongo. I have to store and work with very large integers e.g. pow(10,30) maybe even more. I am concerned about overflowing, does this happen in mongo or in javascript if I use var ? I know that JS function toPrecision() works up to 20 digits, but what happens if I have more ? And what about mongo, when does the stored number overflow ?

                    You'll need to use a math library and store numbers as strings or as separate components of a larger number. I don't understand your question about use of `var` though. – WiredPrairie Mar 19 '13 at 11:02
