The second parameter of parseInt() defines the base to which the first parameter is parsed to. I have been playing around with some numbers and found out that I do not get a correct answer anymore if the base is larger than 36:

parseInt("1", 36);
// -> 1

parseInt("1", 37);
// -> NaN

Is there a limit? And why is it 36?

I was using chrome when I ran my tests
