What is @stdlib/constants-float64-ninf?

@stdlib/constants-float64-ninf is a package that provides a constant representing the negative infinity value for double-precision floating-point numbers (float64). This can be useful in various mathematical computations and algorithms where the concept of negative infinity is required.

What are @stdlib/constants-float64-ninf's main functionalities?

Negative Infinity Constant

This feature provides the negative infinity constant, which can be used in mathematical operations and comparisons where negative infinity is a meaningful value.

const ninf = require('@stdlib/constants-float64-ninf');
console.log(ninf); // -Infinity

Other packages similar to @stdlib/constants-float64-ninf

math-constants

The 'math-constants' package includes a collection of mathematical constants, such as Pi, Euler's number, and both positive and negative infinity. It is more comprehensive compared to @stdlib/constants-float64-ninf, which focuses solely on the negative infinity constant.
