Edit Question
Title
Body
So in Ruby there is a trick to specify infinity: 1.0/0 => Infinity I believe in Python you can do something like this float('inf') These are just examples though, I'm sure most languages have infinity in some capacity. When would you actually use this construct in the real world? Why would using it in a range be better than just using a boolean expression? For instance (0..1.0/0).include?(number) == (number >= 0) # True for all values of number => true To summarize, what I'm looking for is a real world reason to use Infinity. EDIT : I'm looking for real world code. It's all well and good to say this is when you "could" use it, when have people actually used it.
