Name
Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY — negative infinity
Synopsis
Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
Description
Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY is
a special numeric value that is returned when an arithmetic operation or mathematical function
generates a negative value greater than the largest representable
number in JavaScript (i.e., more negative than -Number.MAX_VALUE).
JavaScript displays the NEGATIVE_INFINITY value as -Infinity. This value behaves
mathematically like infinity; for example, anything multiplied by
infinity is infinity, and anything divided by infinity is zero. In
ECMAScript v1 and later, you can also use -Infinity instead of Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY.
