    It’s because parseInt is expecting a string, so the decimal gets converted to a string, and 0.0000005.toString() returns 5e-7.

        More like javascript L, even python would throw a TypeError for this example.

      And to further expand on that, if you do pass in a sting string, it handles it correctly.

      > parseInt('0.0000005')
