JavaScript has a **`Number` object** that is a wrapper for primitive numeric values. It is used to represent and manipulate numbers. 


## Number properties
The standard properties of the `Number` object in JavaScript are as follows:

### MAX_VALUE
The **`MAX_VALUE` property** represents the largest numeric value that can be represented in JavaScript. The values that are larger than `MAX_VALUE` are represented as `Infinity`. 

The code below shows the syntax and value of `MAX_VALUE`.  

var largest_num = Number.MAX_VALUE;
console.log (largest_num);

### MIN_VALUE
The **`MIN_VALUE` property** represents the smallest numeric value that can be represented in JavaScript. The values that are smaller than `MIN_VALUE` are represented as negative infinity. 

The code below shows the syntax and value of `MIN_VALUE`.  


var smallest_num = Number.MIN_VALUE;
console.log (smallest_num);

### POSITIVE_INFINITY
**`POSITIVE_INFINITY`** represents the value of infinity, i.e., any value greater than `MAX_VALUE`. The `POSITIVE_INFINITY` holds the same properties as infinity in mathematics. 

* Any value multiplied by `POSITIVE_INFINITY` returns `POSITIVE_INFINITY`. 

* Any value divided by `POSITIVE_INFINITY` returns zero. 

The syntax and value of `POSITIVE_INFINITY` are shown in the code below:

var pos_infinity = Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY;
var num = 20;
console.log (pos_infinity);
console.log(num*pos_infinity);
console.log(num/pos_infinity);

### NEGATIVE_INFINITY
**`NEGATIVE_INFINITY`** represents the value of negative infinity, i.e., any value less than `MIN_VALUE`. 

The syntax and value of `NEGATIVE_INFINITY` are shown in the code below:

var neg_infinity = Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY;
console.log (neg_infinity);


### NaN
The **`NaN` property** represents a Not-a-Number value. It is usually used for error conditions to indicate that the number is not valid. 

The following code shows an example of the use of the `NaN` property. 

var month = -1;

if (month < 1 || month > 12){
  month = Number.NaN; 
  console.log(month);
}

Other number properties of the `Number` object are shown below:
