Hi Anatol,

Producing INF. There's currently no explicit way to produce INF and NAN, whereby NAN is gettable with sqrt(-1). echo PHP_DBL_MAX*PHP_DBL_MAX, " ", -PHP_DBL_MAX*PHP_DBL_MAX; INF -INFI'm not sure I understand this use-case. We already have the INF and NAN constants for obtaining those values, and the standard IEEE 754 operations which produce these values are implemented (1/0 for INF, 0/0 for NAN, etc.) -- Andrea Faulds https://ajf.me/
