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.
