JavaScript eval() function on a number preceded by four "0"s.

Like, eval(000026)= 24. How come? https://code.sololearn.com/WnzE9nnXceG7/?ref=app

Nor'wester , numbers starting with 0 are considered octal numbers. So when you convert octal to decimal that's the result 🐱

not necessarily just work around it... Nor'wester that is what we all learn to do... when there are potential risk.

It has come to my attention that it may not be wise to use the eval() in Javascript and would discourage it's use... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/eval
