    inf

Python code to demonstrate example of math.inf constant

# python code to demonstrate example of 
# math.inf constant

# importing math module
import math 

# printing value of infinity
print("value of positive infinity = ", math.inf)
print("value of negative infinity = ", -math.inf)

Output

value of positive infinity = inf
value of negative infinity = -inf
