## Overview
An **infinite number** is a number that has no end and is not measurable. We can have infinite numbers that are positive and negative. These numbers are called positive infinity and negative infinity. We can check if a float value is infinite or not by using the **`infinite?` method**.
## Syntax
```ruby
fl_num.infinite?
```
## Parameters
This method takes no parameters. They are only invoked on a float object or value.
## Return value
The value returned is `1`, `-1`, or `nil`. `1` is returned if it is infinity or positive infinity. `-1` is returned if it is negative infinity. Otherwise, `nil` is returned.
## Code example


# create float values
f1 = 2.3435
f2 = 1.0/0.0    # infinity
f3 = -3.4/0.0   # -infinity
f4 = 4.34/1.2

# check if infinity
puts "#{f1} is : #{f1.infinite?}"
puts "#{f1} is : #{f2.infinite?}"
puts "#{f1} is : #{f3.infinite?}"
puts "#{f1} is : #{f4.infinite?}"

## Explanation
* **Lines 2 to 5**: We create some float variables and initialize them with some values.
* **Lines 8 to 11**: We use the `infinite?` method to determine whether the float values are infinite or not. We then print the results on the console.
