+1005

+2

Not really...

10^500 is constant

so it's not really infinity

+1005

+2

but... that is what the calculator says

I agree 10^500 is really large, ANDit's outside of the range of the calculator.

I think we only have 64 bits so minimum value of -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 and a maximum value of 9,223,372,036,854,775,807

yeah

10 with 500 zeros exceeds that

Maybe, who knows?

I think my TI non-graph calc. is only 16 or 32 bits.
