Number.MIN_VALUE 2

[BillyRayPreachersSon]

Am I missing something really obvious here? I would expect this to alert "true", but it alerts "false":

alert(0 > Number.MIN_VALUE);

Surely Number.MIN_VALUE represents the lowest possible number that JS can handle (which will be negative), and thus zero will always be greater than it?

Number.MIN_VALUE represents the number closest to 0, not the lowest number.

MIN.VALUE is the smallest positive number JS can handle.

Try alerting it.

In case you need it, the real smallest number is:

[red][b]-[/b][/red]Number.MAX_VALUE

or

(-1 * Number.MAX_VALUE)

Thanaks for clarifying that, guys... Now it makes sense why my alert was failing.
