Javascript Error: ParseInt fails when supplied with large numbers


Warning: WP_Syntax::substituteToken(): Argument #1 ($match) must be passed by reference, value given in /home/bateeqjg/public_html/news/wp-content/plugins/wp-syntax/wp-syntax.php on line 380

ParseInt returns 1 for when passed any number greater or equal to 1e+21.

var x = 1.0e+2;
console.log( x == 1e+2 );
console.log( parseInt( x, 10 ) == 100 );
console.log( parseFloat( x ) == 100 );
 
var x = 1.0e+21;
console.log( x == 1e+21 );
console.log( parseInt( x, 10 ) == 1 );
console.log( parseFloat( x ) == 1e+21 );

What do you think the problem is?
I think the problem by be because numbers 1e+21 and greater are represented as strings.
ParseInt might only be looking at valid numbers to parse the number to into an integer. Since e in ‘1e21’ is not a number, 1 is the item returned.
