No it doesn't. I don't know where you got that idea, but it can't be from ever writing any floating point code, or looking at the IEEE-754 standard, or the floating point format. Please see https://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html https://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html and stop spreading radically wrong misinformation.

In IEEE-754, 1/0 == Infinity and 1/-0 == -Infinity.
