Infinity

by Martin Becker (‎martin‎) (Ulm.pm)

Infinity aimed at Any and is held in Deutsch. This talk starts on 2023-02-27 at 11:20 for 40 minutes. It takes place at the Room 1.

Computers are finite, yet notions of infinity can play a part in hardware and software. We'll identify occurences of these, such as in IEEE 754 floating point arithmetic, and look at what they mean, contrary to some common misconceptions. We'll conclude with a brief look at infinity symbols in Perl and Raku (or lack thereof).
