infinite numner sign...

[closed account oNA4216C]

I know that the infinite sign is like 8 but flat... what about in c++? how would code/type the infinite number sign/code?

thx

You cannot.

A 16bits long or a 32bits long value always has a max value depending on whether it is signed or not.

Find INT_MIN and INT_MAX in limits.h.

#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
int main()
{
    double max = std::numeric_limits<double>::max();
    double inf = std::numeric_limits<double>::infinity();
 
    if(inf > max)
        std::cout << inf << " is greater than " << max << '\n';
}

hello WheatFieldOnFire,

This worked for me:

char ch{ ' ' };
ch = static_cast<char> (0xEC); 

Hope that helps,

Andy
