Hi sanjay,
range of Float and double can be found by running the following program.
--------------------------------------------------------
class MaxMin
{
public static void main(
String j[])
{
System.out.println("Max Float :"+Float.MAX_VALUE);
System.out.println("Min Float :"+Float.MIN_VALUE);
System.out.println("Max Double :"+Double.MAX_VALUE);
System.out.println("Min Double :"+Double.MIN_VALUE);
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------
Now POSITIVE_INFINITY and NEGATIVE_INFINITY are two constants defined by Float and double classes which are used to handle overflow and underflow conditions.as soon as it seems that the value assigned to float /double is going to be greater than MAX_VALUE or less than MIN_VALUE then
java uses two infinity constants and neatly saves us from an exception.
