RosettaCodeData/Task/Infinity/00DESCRIPTION

;Task:
Write a function which tests if infinity is supported for floating point numbers (this step should be omitted for languages where the language specification already demands the existence of infinity, e.g. by demanding [[IEEE]] numbers), and if so, returns positive infinity. &nbsp; Otherwise, return the largest possible positive floating point number.

For languages with several floating point types, use the type of the literal constant &nbsp; '''1.5''' &nbsp; as floating point type.


;Related task:
* &nbsp; [[Extreme floating point values]]

First commit of partial RosettaCode contents. Pushing this for testing purposes. Lots of work still needed. 2013-04-08 13:02:41 -07:00
