# INFINITY

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric‎ | math

Defined in header `<cmath>` |  |
#define INFINITY /*implementation defined*/ |  | (since C++11)

If the implementation supports floating-point infinities, the macro `INFINITY` expands to constant expression of type float which evaluates to positive or unsigned infinity.

If the implementation does not support floating-point infinities, the macro `INFINITY` expands to a positive value that is guaranteed to overflow a float at compile time, and the use of this macro generates a compiler warning.
