In this article, we will show you how to represent an infinite number in python. Infinity is an undefined number that can be either positive or negative. A number is used to represent infinity; the sum of two numeric values may be a numeric but distinct pattern; it may have a negative or positive value. All arithmetic operations on an infinite value, whether sum, subtraction, multiplication or any other operation, always result in an infinite number. In the field of computer science, infinity is commonly used to evaluate and optimize algorithms that do calculations on a huge scale. Infinity in ...
