The second parameter of parseInt() defines the base to which the first parameter is parsed to. I have been playing around with some numbers and found out that I do not get a correct answer anymore if the base is larger than 36:
parseInt("1", 36);
// -> 1
parseInt("1", 37);
// -> NaN
Is there a limit? And why is it 36?
I was using chrome when I ran my tests
36 is 10 + 26. There are 26 letters in the alphabet, plus 0-9.
That’s the maximum radix you can use.
