Making Infinity

The upper and lower integer limits in Gimkit appear to be approximately 2^1024 and -2^1024. Attempting to go near these values with small numbers seems to fail and return infinity or -infinity (probably due to floating-point errors), so the best method right now to approach it seems to be using 2^1023.9999999999999, as adding another 9 makes the number round to 1024.

Going past 2^1023.9999999999999 gives you infinity. It appears you cannot modify infinity whatsoever besides multiplying it by 0.

Putting infinity in a text device will literally print “Infinity” or “-Infinity”.

I currently see no use for this unless someone somehow thinks of one. If no one can, then this topic can be closed (preferably by a moderator ping, because I don’t really see how this breaks any rules).

If you wish to try and find a USE for infinity, do NOT just randomly theorize. Actually TEST your ideas in Gimkit, and THEN make a post.

I wonder if this could be used as a repeater I may be wrong

couldnt you just do 7 or any number in fact, divided by 0 it automatically makes infinity

No, a number divided by 0 (zero) would be undefined. This would not be infinity.

Please don’t randomly theorize ideas unless you have already tested your presumption in GKC.

Mathematically, your statement is false. However, in Gimkit, dividing by 0 appears to produce infinity for some reason. A positive dividend makes infinity, a negative dividend makes -infinity, and 0 makes 0.

I tested a few other methods of generating undefined/infinity.

tan(90 +/- 180n), where n represents any integer returns 16331239353195370.

log and natural log both return 0 if the number is less than -1 and -infinity if the number is greater than -1 and less than or equal to 0.

I even looked it up and “supposedly” it said it would in theory make infinity

I actually have notyoyo, on a gimkit calculator

No, it isn’t. Division by 0 is supposed to equal undefined.

YEp!

@Gimkitsuggestor
think of it this way:
12/1 is 12 apples for 1 person. While 12/0 is 12 apples for 0 people, so how much does one person get.

It’s Hard To Understand.
Can Someone Explain It In A Simpler Way?

mysz made a guide, and I remember something about division by 0 makes infinity.
I tested it, just now.

Yes, in fact it does.

Yes, it does work.

But how are we going to manipulate this in GKC?

so @InkyDarkBird and me are both correct in a way?

You didn’t understand my message. I said your statement is wrong in mathematics and correct in Gimkit.

Yeh I know what you mean, but the wierd thing was the only way I knew that was I looked up how to get infinity on a calculator and it literally said 7 divided by 0…

its just wierd

However you also have things like this
