OverflowError: cannot convert float infinity to integer

This error occurs when you try to convert a floating-point number that represents infinity to an integer. In Python, the built-in float type can represent positive and negative infinity using the special values float('inf') and float('-inf').

However, when you try to convert these values to an integer using the int() function, you will get an OverflowError because integers in Python have a finite range and cannot represent infinity.

To avoid this error, you can check if the floating-point number is finite before converting it to an integer using the math.isfinite() function. For example:

import math

x = float('inf')
if math.isfinite(x):
    y = int(x)
else:
    print('x is not finite')

In this case, the code will skip the conversion to an integer and print a message if x is not finite.
