JavaScript Number.MAX_VALUE and Number.MIN_VALUE is used to represent maximum and minimum numeric values in javascript. 

Syntax:

Number.MAX_VALUE 
Number.MIN_VALUE 

Return Type: Both Number.MAX_VALUE and Number.MIN_VALUE returns a numeric value.

  • MAX_VALUE has a value of approximately 1.79E+308. The values are larger Number.MAX_VALUE are termed as Infinity. 
  • MIN_VALUE has a value of approximately 5e-324. The values are smaller than the Number.MIN_VALUE are termed as underflow values.
