Numbers are an integral part of programming. Hence, programming languages support various datatypes to represent different kinds of numbers and provide various methods to work with them. Each of these datatypes comes with certain limitations on the range of numbers they can represent; while some can represent a small range of numbers, others support a very large range of numbers. Depending on our use case, we can choose from one of them. But none of them have a way to represent infinity.
We often encounter and have to deal with infinity in many real-world scenarios, and so we need a way to represent them in programming languages. In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to represent and work with infinity in Python.
