What steps will reproduce the bug?

   var sum = aa + bb;
   console.log(sum);

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

This issue started from 18th digit onwards.

What is the expected behavior?

125029734092369568 or Crossed the input size limit

125029734092369570

What do you see instead?

125029734092369570

Additional information

It would be nice If JavaScript handles this.

JS uses floating-point numbers as its default number type, which means that large numbers will not be represented exactly. The documentation on Number.isSafeInteger has a few more details.

Recent versions of Node.js, including v12.x, support BigInts, i.e. arbitrary-precision integers:

> 125029734092369566n + 2n
125029734092369568n
> Number(125029734092369568n)
125029734092369570 // Imprecise, because converted to Number instead of BigInt

Thanks for the suggestion addaleax. with your modification its working. But it'll be awesome if Node throws warning or exception instead of incorrect answer.

I'm wandering about next steps here, given that type-definitions are part of v8 , there is no role of node.js here (node.js can handle and control it's own API calls.)

@touchnewshiva - anything pending on this issue?

It would be good if we add some auto comments or pop ups to notify that, it's not possible
