Infinity is not a number, it is a theory. There is no way to prove whether it exists or not, for to do so, you would have to count forever without stopping and it still would not be infinity... It is a conundrum.

"So if your not gonna say its s number and answer questions, just let the thread die."

Why would I say infinity is a number when it clearly is not a number?
Oh, and if you would have read the replies, you would have seen my answers to the questions.

In floating point operations, inf. is regarded as a number. There's also a number called NaN which is, as one would expect, not a number.

Your solutions are all correct except for #5. Inf. - inf. = NaN.

Generally, if you get inf - inf, you have to do some work to your function to make sure that you never have that case.

The word: "infinite" is an abstract quality; not a number, because it represents what we today cannot explain or "count" to in any manner of physical or mental steps.

the concept of infinity can be used in math concepts such as

side1 + side2 + side3 + side4 … +sideINF = 360 / #Sides

But other than that it's not a real #
