I get the following error when passing (new BigNumber('2')).exponentiatedBy(100) big number value as uint256
Error: invalid BigNumber string value (arg="value", value="1.267650600228229401496703205376e+30", version=4.0.28)
I am using Truffle, but seems like a web3 issue? I'm not sure. Anyone seen this before. Wouldn't a valid uint256 go up to 2^255 ?
I'm not sure what BigNumber version you have installed as part of your project.
But Truffle exposes a global Web3 instance called web3, which exposes big-number functionality.
Therefore:
web3.toBigNumber(2).pow(100).web3.utils.toBN(2).pow(100).
An unexpected error occurred: TypeError: num.bitLength is not a function at toBitArray (/home/pam/our-contracts/node_modules/number-to-bn/node_modules/bn.js/lib/bn.js:628:27) at BN.pow (/home/pam/our-contracts/node_modules/number-to-bn/node_modules/bn.js/lib/bn.js:1931:13) at test2 (/home/pam/our-contracts/tasks/2.js:16:36) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7) error Command failed with exit code 1.
