It seems that Ruby has a concept of infinity:
1.0/0
=> Infinity
(1.0/0).class
=> Float
I wish to return this value, but I can’t quite figure out what Ruby’s
symbol for Infinity is. I guess that I could write:
my_method
…
return 1.0/0
end
But I’d rather do something like
my_method
…
return Infinity
end
(Replace “Infinity” by the appropriate value).
Does anyone know what symbol Ruby uses for “Infinity”?
