In decimal 0.99 recurring will always be less than 1. More basically put, when you buy something that costs 0.99 and you pay with a 1 dollar / pound whatever, does the cashier give you 0.01 change or say "ah that's the same as 0.99 so no change"?
Well?

I actually took theoretical physics, but okay then.
If you understand the concepts of limits and differential mathematics, I honestly can't fathom how you'd advocate for 0.999...=/=1
Gavin Gomez
that's kind of funny. it's either an example of when ultimately left brain math fuckheads try to be right brain trippy or a joke on purpose.
one number does not equal another. i think we can start and end there.

i got dubs so i can gloat but also to add:
i am getting a B in my last CS course and just for my own balls, i took calculus 1 FIVE FUCKING TIMES and discrete math twice to get a good grade and know it.

limits can suck my ass. read that stupid wikipedia article. it suggests that it's just a "method". ok, well limits are a method to figure out that something approaches.
pause the simulation, einstein, and observe that it's still not actually 1.

All these 'experts'.
Technically 0.999...has no value. True numbers are written as angles to represent their value and the 9's in this thread have no motherfuckjng angles therefore no value.

0.99 and 0.99... aren't the same number? The fuck are you on about, get out of here.

1/3 is an equation.
.3333~ is a decimal equivalent
Let's move this to application.
Use engineering and say this pin needs to be 1/3".
My previous knowledge says this high-precision widget should work with a .0003" tolerance window.
Pin can be .33315" to 33345".
Exact numbers like that don't exist.
They don't matter.
3/9 = 3 etc.
