# Javascript Number - NEGATIVE_INFINITY

## Description:

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.

## Syntax:

You can access this property using the following syntax:

    var val = Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY;

## Example:

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.
