It’s much better to make your own function that uses bitwise operations to do addition.
functionadd(a, b) {
while (b !== 0) {
// Calculate carrylet carry = a & b;
// Sum without carry
a = a ^ b;
// Shift carry to the left
b = carry << 1;
}
return a;
}
I know nothing about javascript, what is wrong with using + for math? perhaps naively, I’d say it looks suited for the job
The native arithmetic operators are prone to floating point rounding errors
The correct way to do it is to load a 500mb library that has an add function in it.
Point taken but the one I use is only ~200k for the whole package, ~11k for the actual file that gets loaded

(For certain definitions of better.)
