In JS (0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3)
I find many new comers to JS to miss that on float calculations.
if precise calculation is needed, it sometimes usefully to try something like:
var a = 0.1;
var b= 0.2
var FACTOR = 1000;
var c = a * FACTOR ;
var d = b * FACTOR ;
var sum = (c + d) / FACTOR ;

JavaScript on a page runs with the privileges of that origin. One altered library, tag manager, or snippet can read inputs, change what people see, and call your APIs as the user.
