JavaScript Infinity PROPERTY
The JavaScript Infinity
is a global property that represents positive infinity. It is a special numeric value that exceeds the upper limit of the number data type. It is often used to represent mathematical operations or calculations that result in an overflow or infinite value.
The Infinity
property can be accessed and used like any other global property in JavaScript. Here are a few examples:
console.log(Infinity); // Outputs: Infinity
console.log(10 / 0); // Outputs: Infinity
console.log(Number.MAX_VALUE * 2); // Outputs: Infinity
console.log(Infinity + 5); // Outputs: Infinity
console.log(Infinity / Infinity); // Outputs: NaN
console.log(typeof Infinity); // Outputs: 'number'
As shown in the examples, Infinity
can be used in mathematical operations like division, addition, or multiplication to represent infinite or undefined results. It is also worth noting that certain operations involving Infinity
, such as dividing Infinity
by Infinity
, result in NaN
(Not a Number).
The typeof
operator can be used to determine the data type of the Infinity
property, which returns 'number'
in this case.
It’s important to handle Infinity
appropriately in your code to avoid unintended behavior or errors. It is often used in conditional checks or comparisons to handle scenarios where a value exceeds a certain limit or to handle special cases in mathematical calculations.
