What does DATA INF/1.D+300/ mean in Fortran?

Question

I\'m translating some Fortran to our C# app and I\'m trying to figure out what a bit of Fortran means at the top of a function.

  DOUBLE PRECISION INF, DMIN,         


        

Answer 1

The value would be 1.0e300, but I'm sure that what is intended is that it be set to the largest double value that can be expressed on the current CPU. so in C# that would be double.PositiveInfinity rather than some hard-coded value.
