POSITIVE_INFINITY (Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY
property)
public static POSITIVE_INFINITY : Number
Specifies the IEEE-754 value representing positive infinity. The value of this property is the
same as that of the constant Infinity.
Positive infinity is a special numeric value that is returned when a mathematical operation or
function returns a value larger than can be represented.
Example
This example compares the result of dividing the following values.
var posResult:Number = 1/0;
if (posResult == Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY) {
trace("posResult = "+posResult); // output: posResult = Infinity
}
var negResult:Number = -1/0;
if (negResult == Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY) {
trace("negResult = "+negResult); // output: negResult = -Infinity
toString (Number.toString method)
public toString(radix:Number) : String
Returns the string representation of the specified Number object (myNumber).
Parameters
radix:Number - Specifies the numeric base (from 2 to 36) to use for the number-to-string
conversion. If you do not specify the radix parameter, the default value is 10.
Returns
String - A string.
Example
The following example uses 2 and 8 for the radix parameter and returns a string that
contains the corresponding representation of the number 9:
var myNumber:Number = new Number(9);
trace(myNumber.toString(2)); // output: 1001
trace(myNumber.toString(8)); // output: 11
The following example results in a hexadecimal value.
var r:Number = new Number(250);
var g:Number = new Number(128);
