Example: Numbers

It is worth noting the following features:

• The number 1.23456789123456789123456789 is rounded off as not all the digits are stored.
• There is no distinction made between the numbers 12.0 and 12.
• The type of NaN is number.
• Due to numbers being stored as approximations, the result of 5.1 - 3.1 is neither 2 nor 2.0, as one might expect.
• Due to the existence of Infinity, dividing by zero does not result in an error.
• The examples of addition, multiplication, and division show outputs without decimal points, even though there are inputs with decimal points.
• The second remainder operation illustrates another surprising consequence of numbers being stored as approximations.
