Representation not very accurate

Team's Response

The World Bank estimates the 2020 GWP (gross world product) at 85 trillion in current US dollars. That's

85000000000000

One could argue this figure does not represent the true upper bound of price, in particular for weaker currencies. Let's take the extreme form of that argument by considering periods of hyperinflation. The worst case of hyperinflation ever recorded is the Hungarian pengő monetary crisis. At its peak, historical exchange rates soared to 1 USD = 4.6×10^29 P. Let's convert the above figure to this currency

39100000000000000000000000000000000000000000

That's 44 digits. Your example shows 45.

All of this is to say outside of deliberate program sabotage, we can only expect such inputs to be encountered in cases of user error. The inaccuracy of numerical representation then is a purely cosmetic issue since it is expected for users to correct this error rather than refer to it as any meaningful value.
