title: Infinity
slug: Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Infinity
page-type: javascript-global-property
browser-compat: javascript.builtins.Infinity
sidebar: jssidebar
---
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 */
```
