MAX_VALUE is a static, read-only property of Number. As a result, you always use it as Number.MAX_VALUE, rather than as a property of a Number object you create.

Example

The following code multiplies two numeric values. If the result is less than or equal to MAX_VALUE, the func1 function is called; otherwise, the func2 function is called.

if (num1 * num2 <= Number.MAX_VALUE)
