[p5.js 2.0 Bug Report]: if use min() and max() with Infinity or -Infinity, it throws friendly error

[inaridarkfox4231]

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

• Accessibility
• Color
• Core/Environment/Rendering
• Data
• DOM
• Events
• Image
• IO
• Math
• Typography
• Utilities
• WebGL
• Build process
• Unit testing
• Internationalization
• Friendly errors
• Other (specify if possible)

p5.js version

2.0.4

Web browser and version

Chrome

Operating system

Windows

Steps to reproduce this

Steps:

1. console.log(min(Infinity,3));
2. console.log(max(3,-Infinity));
3. until 2.0.3, it throws no error. 2.0.4 and 2.0.5 throws friendly error. (There is no problem in getting the value.)

Snippet:

function setup() {
	createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight);
	background(100);
	console.log(min(Infinity,3));
	console.log(max(3,-Infinity));
}

2.0.3

no error.

2.0.4, 2.0.5

friendly error occurs.

p5.disableFriendlyErrors = true;

This might solve the problem, but most users probably don't want to go through the hassle.

A similar problem occurs with p5.Editor, but I was unable to confirm this on the reference site.

This problem doesn't seem to occur when using the library locally also, so I think it's specific to OpenProcessing and p5.Editor.

Ah apparently in zod v4, Infinity stopped being a valid value for a number() validation: colinhacks/zod#4721

Probably need to try updating this line:

p5.js/src/core/friendly_errors/param_validator.js

Line 67 in 53c12c3

'Number': z.number(),

Something like z.number().or(z.literal(Infinity)) maybe?
