Infinities
The infinities of the extended real number line can be represented in IEEE floating-point datatypes, just like ordinary floating-point values like 1, 1.5, etc. They are not error values in any way, though they are often (but not always, as it depends on the rounding) used as replacement values when there is an overflow. Upon a divide-by-zero exception, a positive or negative infinity is returned as an exact result. An infinity can also be introduced as a numeral (like C's "INFINITY" macro, or "∞" if the programming language allows that syntax).
IEEE 754 requires infinities to be handled in a reasonable way, such as
- (+∞) + (+7) = (+∞)
- (+∞) × (−2) = (−∞)
- (+∞) × 0 = NaN – there is no meaningful thing to do
So, it will round to +infinite . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic
