JavaScript Number.MAX_VALUE and Number.MIN_VALUE is used to represent maximum and minimum numeric values in javascript.

Syntax:

Number.MAX_VALUE 
Number.MIN_VALUE

Return Type: Both Number.MAX_VALUE and Number.MIN_VALUE returns a numeric value.

MAX_VALUE has a value of approximately 1.79E+308. The values are larger Number.MAX_VALUE are termed as Infinity.
MIN_VALUE has a value of approximately 5e-324. The values are smaller than the Number.MIN_VALUE are termed as underflow values.
Both MAX_VALUE and MIN_VALUE are static properties of Number. Therefore using x.MAX_VALUE or x.MIN_VALUE will return undefined where x is a Number or Number Object.

javascript


 function GFGFun() {
    // Undefined Behaviour
    let res = Number.MAX_VALUE;
    console.log(res);
}
GFGFun();

Output :

JavaScript


 function GFGFun() {
    // Undefined Behaviour
    let res = Number.MIN_VALUE;
    console.log(res);
}
GFGFun();

Output:
