INFINITY

HUGE_VAL
HUGE_VALF
HUGE_VALLThe macro INFINITY expands to a float
constant representing positive infinity.
The macro NAN expands to a float constant
representing a quiet NaN (when supported). A quiet NaN is a NaN
("not-a-number") that does not raise exceptions when it is used in
arithmetic. The opposite is a signaling NaN. See IEC
60559:1989.
The macros HUGE_VAL, HUGE_VALF,
HUGE_VALL expand to constants of types double,
float, and long double, respectively, that represent a
large positive value, possibly positive infinity.
C99.
On a glibc system, the macro HUGE_VAL is always
available. Availability of the NAN macro can be tested
using #ifdef NAN, and similarly for
INFINITY, HUGE_VALF,
HUGE_VALL. They will be defined by
<math.h> if _ISOC99_SOURCE or
_GNU_SOURCE is defined, or
__STDC_VERSION__ is defined and has a value not less
than 199901L.
