IEEE 754 floating point representation of (positive) infinity.
Returns:
y: float
A floating point representation of positive infinity.
See Also:
isinf: Shows which elements are positive or negative infinity
isposinf: Shows which elements are positive infinity
isneginf: Shows which elements are negative infinity
isnan: Shows which elements are Not a Number
isfinite: Shows which elements are finite (not one of Not a Number, positive infinity and negative infinity)
Notes:
NumPy uses the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point for Arithmetic (IEEE 754). This means that Not a Number is not equivalent to infinity. Also that positive infinity is not equivalent to negative infinity. But infinity is equivalent to positive infinity.
Examples:
>>> import numpy as np>>> np.infinf>>> np.array([1]) / 0.array([inf])
