Number.MIN_VALUE

2 tags 1 category

The Number.MIN_VALUE static data property represents the smallest positive numeric value representable in JavaScript.

Number.MIN_VALUE is the smallest positive number (not the most negative number) that can be represented within float precision — in other words, the number closest to 0. The ECMAScript spec doesn’t define a precise value that implementations are required to support — instead the spec says, “must be the smallest non-zero positive value that can actually be represented by the implementation”. This is because small IEEE-754 floating point numbers are denormalized, but implementations are not required to support this representation, in which case Number.MIN_VALUE may be larger.
