Negative infinity is something that is lower than any other number . This means that no other number is lesser than this value. In JavaScript negative infinity is a constant value which is used to represent a value which is the lowest available .

```auto
var x = 500;
x.NEGATIVE_INFINITY;

```

`returned "undefined"`

This works great in JavaScript because any value compared to Math.NEGATIVE\_INFINITY will be greater.

In other languages like C++, it’s common to use the minimum value of an integer, float, etc.
