JavaScript MIN_VALUE Property

 JavaScript Number Object

MIN_VALUEThe property represents the smallest positive number in JavaScript.

The MIN_VALUE property is the closest number to 0 that JavaScript can represent, not the most negative number.

The value of MIN_VALUE is approximately5e-324. Values less than MIN_VALUE (‘underflow values’ or ‘underflow’ values) are converted to 0.

Since MIN_VALUE is a static property of Number, you should always use it asNumber.MIN_VALUE, rather than used as the property of the Number object created.

Syntax:

Number.MIN_VALUE
Number.MIN_VALUE;
