In Haskell, is there infinity :: Num a => a?

Question

I\'m trying to implement a data structure where if I had the use of infinity for numerical comparison purposes, it would simply things greatly. Note this isn\'t maxBound/min

Answer 1

λ: let infinity = (read "Infinity")::Double
λ: infinity > 1e100
True
λ: -infinity < -1e100
True
