Setting an int to Infinity in C++

Question

I have an int a that needs to be equal to \"infinity\". This means that if

int b = anyValue;

a>b is always tru

Answer 1

This is a message for me in the future:

Just use: (unsigned)!((int)0)

It creates the largest possible number in any machine by assigning all bits to 1s (ones) and then casts it to unsigned

Even better

#define INF (unsigned)!((int)0)

And then just use INF in your code
