C++ <cmath> - INFINITY

The INFINITY macros expands to an expression of type float.

If the implementation supports floating-point infinities, this is defined as the value that represents a 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. This may be returned by a function that signals a range error by setting errno to ERANGE.

Definition in the <cmath> header file is:

#define INFINITY /* implementation defined */
