What is positive infinity in JavaScript ?

The positive infinity in Javascript is a number that is constant and represents a value that is the highest available. It can be generated using a self-made function or by an arithmetic operation.

Note: JavaScript shows the POSITIVE_INFINITY value as Infinity.

Positive Infinity: It is different from mathematical infinity in the following ways.

  • If we divide any positive number by positive infinity, we will get a positive 0
  • If we divide any negative number by positive infinity, we will get negative 0.
  • 0 multiplied by positive infinity is NaN
  • NaN multiplied by positive infinity is NaN
  • We get negative infinity when we divide positive infinity by any negative number (except negative infinity)
  • We get positive infinity when we divide positive infinity by any positive number (except positive infinity)
  • Positive infinity divided by either positive or negative infinity is NaN

Syntax: 

Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY

Example 1: 

html




<body>
    <h1 style="color: green;">
        neveropen
    </h1>
    <h3>
        What is positive infinity in JavaScript?
    </h3>
    <button onclick="geekPositiveInfinity()">
        Generate positive infinite
    </button>
    <p id="geek"></p>
    <script>;
        function geekPositiveInfinity() {
            var n=(Number.MAX_VALUE)*2;
            document.getElementById("geek").innerHTML=
              "Here the number generated is twice of Number.MAX_VALUE"+"<br>"+ 
              " which is greater than upper limit"+"<br><br>"+n;
        }
    </script>
</body>


Output:
