The Infinity global property is a numeric value representing infinity.

{{InteractiveExample("JavaScript Demo: Infinity")}}

```js interactive-example const maxNumber = 10 ** 1000; // Max positive number

if (maxNumber === Infinity) { console.log("Let's call it Infinity!"); // Expected output: "Let's call it Infinity!" }

console.log(1 / maxNumber); // Expected output: 0

## Value

The same number value as {{jsxref("Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY")}}.

{{js_property_attributes(0, 0, 0)}}

## Description

`Infinity` is a property of the _global object_. In other words, it is a variable in global scope.

The value `Infinity` (positive infinity) is greater than any other number.

This value behaves slightly differently than mathematical infinity; see {{jsxref("Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY")}} for details.

## Examples

### Using Infinity

```js
console.log(Infinity); /* Infinity */
console.log(Infinity + 1); /* Infinity */
console.log(10 ** 1000); /* Infinity */
console.log(Math.log(0)); /* -Infinity */
console.log(1 / Infinity); /* 0 */
console.log(1 / 0); /* Infinity */
