This is a special numeric value representing a value less than Number.MIN_VALUE. This value is represented as "-Infinity". This value resembles an infinity in its mathematical behavior. For example, anything multiplied by NEGATIVE_INFINITY is NEGATIVE_INFINITY, and anything divided by NEGATIVE_INFINITY is zero.
Because NEGATIVE_INFINITY is a constant, it is a read-only property of Number.
You can access this property using the following syntax:
var val = Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY; |
Here is an example showing usage of this property:
<html> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function showValue() { var smallNumber = (-Number.MAX_VALUE) * 2 if (smallNumber == Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY) { alert("Value of smallNumber : " + smallNumber ); } } //--> </script> </head> <body> <p>Click the following to see the result:</p> <form> <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="showValue();" /> </form> </body> </html> |
This will produce following result:
Value of val : -Infinity |
To understand it in better way you can Try it yourself.
