depends on what concept of infinity you use as confusing as it is

I mean we are not counting infinity as a number in your situation?
I donât know what my âsituationâ is, but infinity isâin all situationsânot a number by definition.
thats what I am meaning
Infinity wonât be a number and never will be.
Unless itâs in Gimkit. Then itâs something greater than 2^1024.
This is hurting my brain. I really want to ping jjinitzan right nowâŚ
is it because its infinity? its not a specific number, it is all numbers and never ends and there is no start nor end to infinity + it cannot be used in an equation

Never mind the question.
this is as close as we can get.

What? Infinity is not a number in the set of all reals. Itâs a concept representing something larger than any natural number. Definitions vary depending on what the context is, but it does not fit into any set of generally accepted and used numbers.
In our case, itâs simply an output when a number does not fit into the 1024 bit integer limit.
Also, I tested it, and once a property equals Infinity, it cannot be changed by operations. Closed the tab and forgot to test resetting it though, but I assume that works fine.

Are you able to attempt to subtract infinity from infinity to reset it back to 0? Or does the unaffected by operations apply in this case as well.
Furthermore, are you able to create negative infinity?
(I canât hop on gimkit rn to test this)
yes, you can
divide by negative.
infinity cannot be subtracted or put into any equation because it always goes back to infinity
Wait if it uses an equation, wonât it evenly stumble back into normal numbers based on what @Epi320 post said
Never mind the question.
this is as close as we can get.
(there was a what in-between the wait and the if I donât know how that happened)
Ok.
so, u dont fully understand.
2^1024 is not undefined, in fact, its a natrual number. the problem is, because it is so big, computers cant handle it, and say undefined. What you said is true, it does become natural, but it was always natural, the only reason it is undefined is because it is too big. Like, REALLLLY big.

This is interesting. I checked, and that number doesnât seem to have any strange mathematical properties, and does not fit xn, where x and n are both integers. I wonder why that returns 16331239353195370 in particular?
Edit: Oh, apparently itâs the reciprocal of cos(pi/2). Thanks.
also i'm back hi

Nah, a damage modifier set to âx

Big Dum Idea:
We can use the number as an placeholder for properties to be guaranteed to be lower in some cases within block code

I donât think damage modifiers can go that high.
Oof. Well, if other things can, thatâs still epic
i googled it and found this:
tl;dr you get that number because of floating-point rounding errors. this happens everywhere, such as minecraft, as stated here in the wiki:
2^1024 is the maximum value for a 64-bit floating-point value in Java. Beyond this point, the playerâs coordinates would roll over to read âinfinity,â as the 64-bit float has run out of bits to represent coordinate data, possible to achieve with Cheat Engine in Beta.
also stated in the stackexchange article is that this issue is very widespread
wdym? after 21024, computers just canât handle it anymore and ârolls intoâ infinity. 21024 isnât actually infinity though

Oh so thatâs why, ok that explains it, thanks @eiqcrmeliutgwhc
