Q. JavaScript _________ when there is an indefinite or an infinite value during an arithmetic computation.
✅ Correct Answer: (D)
Displays “Infinity”
Explanation:
In JavaScript, when an arithmetic computation results in an indefinite or infinite value, JavaScript does not throw an error. Instead, it returns Infinity (or -Infinity for negative values).
Example:
console.log(10 / 0); // Output: Infinity
console.log(-10 / 0); // Output: -Infinity
If the result of a computation is undefined (like 0/0), JavaScript returns NaN (Not-a-Number):
console.log(0 / 0); // Output: NaN
Why Not Other Options?
- (A) Prints the value as such → ❌ Incorrect (JavaScript does not print raw values; instead, it handles them specifically as Infinity).
- (B) Prints an exception error → ❌ Incorrect (JavaScript does not throw an exception for division by zero).
- (C) Prints an overflow error → ❌ Incorrect (JavaScript does not have an "overflow error" like some other languages).
Final Answer:
✅ (D) Displays “Infinity”
