in thread Infinity and Inf?

> How is that weird?
DB<10> print 5+abc 5 DB<11> print 5+Inf inf

So Inf is a kind of dualvar but not a constant?

Strange...

    You find it strange that "abc" numifies to zero?

    So Inf is a kind of dualvar but not a constant?

    No. Like I said in my last two posts, "Inf" (numifies to inf) is a string just like "5" (numifies to 5), "abc" (numifies to 0) and "5E1" (numifies to 50).
