float.MaxValue... will it hold in DM?

(See the best response by Kaiochao.)
I know there was a talk a while back about raising the maximum number in BYOND and making numbers more flexible (adding and subtracting from bigger numbers with smaller numbers).

My question is...

var/variable = 3.402823e38 // float.MaxValue in C#.


Will this go through properly? I know at a certain point DM just says, "Go to hell!" and turns the number in to infinity.

I just need a quick answer while I continue to work on this path finding library.

It appears to come out properly.
mob/Login() src << 3.402823e38
// output: 3.402823e+038

Infinity can be pretty useful as an initial value for checking for a minimum value, though.

Alright, thanks. I just hope I can use it as it would be used in C#.

returns '3.40282e+038'
To my knowledge, yes, this will go through properly.

Sorry, had the post open before I saw Kaiochao's response.
