Query: unsupported operation: infinity or NaN toInt
An “unsupported operation: infinity or NaN toInt” error occurs when you try to convert Infinity or NaN (Not-a-Number) to an integer using the toInt() method in JavaScript or a similar programming language.
Infinity
In JavaScript, Infinity represents a value that is greater than any other number. It is a special numeric value that can be the result of dividing a number by zero or by evaluating arithmetic expressions that exceed the floating-point range.
console.log(Infinity); // Output: Infinity
NaN
NaN is a value representing Not-a-Number. It is also a special numeric value used to indicate that an operation cannot produce a meaningful numeric result.
console.log(NaN); // Output: NaN
Error Explanation
The toInt() method is typically used to convert a numeric value to an integer. However, since Infinity and NaN are not valid numeric values, attempting to convert them to integers will result in an error.
Example
console.log(Infinity.toInt()); // Error: unsupported operation: infinity or NaN toInt
console.log(NaN.toInt()); // Error: unsupported operation: infinity or NaN toInt
To avoid this error, make sure to handle or check for Infinity or NaN values before attempting to convert them to integers.
