hi frnds,
Im having two 20digit numbers, But while comparing those it
is giiving wrong ouput in javascript.
for example here is my code,
my secanrio is ,
~ If first 20 digit number is greater number than second 20 digit
number ,then it should return.
* And another important thing is, the two 20digit number will be same
but last one digit only change
Code:
<HTML>
<script language='javas cript'>
function numberCheck()
{
var val1=document.g etElementById(' txt1').value;
var val2=document.g etElementById(' txt2').value;
if(parseInt(val 1) parseInt(val2))
alert("Greater" )
else
alert("Correct" );
}
</script>
<body>
<input type=text id="txt1" value="18446744 073709551617" size=25>
<input type=text id="txt2" value="18446744 073709551616" size=25>
<input type=button onclick="number Check();" value="check">
</body>
</html>
So here txt1 value is greater than txt2 value, but it returning Correct
alert.
Please tel me reason why its returning like this,
Is there any restriction for comparing more than 20 digits

If the only thing that can change is the last digit then simply compare
the last character and it doesn't matter how long the "number" is if it
is stored in a string.
<HTML>
<script language='javas cript'>
function numberCheck()
{
var val1=document.g etElementById(' txt1').value;
var lastChar1 = val1.charAt(val 1.length-1);
var val2=document.g etElementById(' txt2').value;
var lastChar2 = val2.charAt(val 2.length-1);
Now, simply compare the last 2 characters.
if(parseInt(val 1) parseInt(val2))
Don't use parseInt without the second parameter or you may eventually
get unexpected results.
if (+lastChar1>+la stChar2)
<snip>
>
So here txt1 value is greater than txt2 value, but it returning Correct
alert.
Please tel me reason why its returning like this,
The incorrectness introduced by floating point math.
Is there any restriction for comparing more than 20 digits
Probably.

Yes, absolutely.
If only the last digit needs to be compared, then Randy has answered
your question. However, if you want to compare large numbers as
numbers, read the following thread:
<URL: http://groups.google.com/group/comp....73213f5f2e91c5
>
>From that thread:
"The representable range is +/-1.7976931348623 157×10^308 (with
numbers as small as +/-5×10^-324). The range of precise integer
values is +/-900719925474099 2 (+/-2^53)."
Note that there are many integers in the representable range that can't
be represented exactly, starting with integers of 16 digits. That is
well short of your requirement for 20 digits.

Hi Randy,
For a example only ,i told u the last character, It can be any digit in
the whole number, So i want to compare the whole 20 digit number with
other 20 digit number.
I want know ,why is it not comparing correctly. Is there anyother way
to compare

HI Rob,
Thanks for your information.
Then there no way to compare this. My senario is like that,
what can i do to solve this problem.
Can u give me a suggestion.

The value of a text input is a string. Do a string comparison and you
don't run into the 16 digit limit.

Compare them as strings.
if (string1 == string2)

An algorithm is:
- get the values as strings (input elements will return strings)
- check they are both integers
- remove leading zeros
- the longest one is bigger
- if they are the same length, check digit by digit
- if the numbers are really big, chec, blocks of say
10 digits at a time.
e.g. the following example returns true only if a and b are integers
and a is bigger than b. If a or b aren't integers, 'undefined' is
returned. Otherwise, if b is bigger or equal to a, false is returned.
function isBigger(a, b)
{
// Make sure they are integers
var re = new RegExp('\\D','g ');
if (re.test(a) || re.test(b)){
return undefined;
}
// Trim leading zeros
a = a.replace(/^0+/g,'');
b = b.replace(/^0+/g,'');
// Check lengths
if (a.length != b.length){
return (a.length b.length);
}
// Compare digits
var a = a.split('');
var b = b.split('');
for (var i=0, j=a.length; i<j; i++){
if (+a[i] b[i]) return true;
}
return false;
}

If they are defined in the HTML then you can be pretty assured whether
they are numbers or not, but even then, comparing them as strings is
simpler and easier. After removing the leading zeros, if they are equal
as strings they must be equal as numbers. If they aren't equal as
strings then they aren't equal as numbers.

Rob, I think you've got a great solution for the problem.
But, I'm going to offer up something a little more general purpose.
Inspired by Java's BigDecimal object. I'm going to propose a BigInteger
for java that will allow for comparison of really large numbers.
/*
* Representation of a big integer.
* the compare method returns a value greater than zero if the
comparing
* object is greater, a negative number if the object compared is
greater,
* or zero if the objects are equal.
*/
function BigInteger(strV al) {
this.parts = new Array();
for(var i=0; i<strVal.length ; i++){
this.parts[i] = +strVal.charAt( i);
}
this.compare = function(num){
var thisLength = this.parts.leng th;
var numLength = num.parts.lengt h;
var greater = 0;
if(thisLength == numLength && thisLength>0){
var cnt = thisLength-1;
while( greater==0 && cnt >= 0 ){
greater = this.parts[cnt] - num.parts[cnt];
cnt--;
}
} else {
greater = (thisLength numLength)?(1): (-1);
}
return greater;
}
}
Granted, creating an array of numbers is probably overkill for simple
comparison it does simplify extending to allow mathematical operations
pretty easily.
The original number check function could be modified to use this like:
function numberCheck()
{
var val1=document.g etElementById(' txt1').value;
var val2=document.g etElementById(' txt2').value;
var val1Bigint = new BigInteger(val1 );
var val2Bigint = new BigInteger(val2 );
var comp = val1Bigint.comp are(val2Bigint) ;
if(comp==0) {
alert("Equal");
} else if(comp>0){
alert("Greater" )
} else {
alert("Less");
}
