math.Inf()

The Inf() function is an inbuilt function of the math package which is used to get the positive infinity or negative infinity. It returns the positive infinity (+Inf) if sign >= 0, the negative infinity (-Inf) if sign < 0. Where the sign is the given parameter.

It accepts a parameter (sign), and returns the positive infinity if sign >= 0, negative infinity if sign < 0.

Syntax:

func Inf(sign int) float64

Parameter(s):

• sign : The value to be used to get the positive or negative infinity.

Return Value:

The return type of Inf() function is a float64, it returns the positive infinity if sign >= 0, negative infinity if sign < 0.

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.Inf() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(math.Inf(0))
	fmt.Println(math.Inf(1))
	fmt.Println(math.Inf(2))

	fmt.Println(math.Inf(-1))
	fmt.Println(math.Inf(-2))
}

Output:

+Inf
+Inf
+Inf
-Inf
-Inf

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of math.Inf() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	var x int
	var InfX float64

	x = 0
	InfX = math.Inf(x)
	fmt.Println("Inf(", x, ") = ", InfX)

	x = 1
	InfX = math.Inf(x)
	fmt.Println("Inf(", x, ") = ", InfX)

	x = -1
	InfX = math.Inf(x)
	fmt.Println("Inf(", x, ") = ", InfX)
}

Output:

Inf( 0 ) =  +Inf
Inf( 1 ) =  +Inf
Inf( -1 ) =  -Inf
