I know it's an odd question, but does JavaScript have the capacity to work with double's as opposed to single floats? (64 bit floats vs. 32 bits.)
According to the ECMA-262 specification (ECMAScript is the specification for Javascript), section 8.5:
The Number type has exactly 18437736874454810627 (that is, 2 64 −2 53 +3) values, representing the double-precision 64-bit format IEEE 754 values as specified in the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic
Source: http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ecma-st/ECMA-262.pdf (PDF)
All numbers in JavaScript are 64-bit floating point numbers.

In javascript type number it's float 64-bit number that support IEEE 754 standard and it's like double in C. And you can create 32-bit typed arrays by commands below and control each byte in each component by binding corresponded buffer.
let a = new Float32Array(length);
let b = new Float64Array(length);
But note that it's not supported in IE9, here browser compatibility table.
If you want extended presicion like long double , you can use double.js or decimal.js library.
