<p>
Numeric constants represent exact values of arbitrary precision and do not overflow.
Consequently, there are no constants denoting the IEEE 754 negative zero, infinity,
and not-a-number values.
</p>

<p>
Constants may be <a href="#Types">typed</a> or <i>untyped</i>.
Literal constants, <code>true</code>, <code>false</code>, <code>iota</code>,

For floating-point arguments negative zero, NaN, and infinity the following rules apply:

<pre>
   x        y    min(x, y)    max(x, y)

  -0.0    0.0         -0.0          0.0    // negative zero is smaller than (non-negative) zero
  -Inf      y         -Inf            y    // negative infinity is smaller than any other number
  +Inf      y            y         +Inf    // positive infinity is larger than any other number
