JavaScript Numbers
<p>I read on the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/A_re-introduction_to_JavaScript" rel="nofollow">MDN Reintroduction to JavaScript</a> that JavaScript numbers are a floating point precision type only, and that there are no integers in JavaScript.  Yet JavaScript has two functions, <code>parseInt</code> and parseFloat`.  After doing a bit of Googling, I'm getting mixed results.</p>

<p>So, does JavaScript abstract away the details of integers and doubles in its number type, or does JavaScript only have double precision Number types and the functions <code>parseInt</code> and <code>parseFloat</code> are poorly named?</p>
