Decimals are inexact, and you are an idiot.
But nice try : /


did you forget rounding rules? 0.9 rounds up to 1

Stop breaking my set theory with your silly classes -.-

ass666, infinitesimals are not real numbers (I prefer to say that they don't exist but you can define them I guess).  You can't do arithmetic with them.

So you're telling me that 1/2 and 0.5 are not exactly the same number?

Thank you.



This isn't philosophical thinking?
Anyways, this fact can also be proven mathematically, and I know how to do it.


No, that is not philosphical thinking, that's just how it is.

Those are rational numbes. 1/3, 2/3, 3/3, and .333, .666, and .999 are irrational.

this is just for fun so i can link a friend to this later on,

i just like this argument

so lets have some fun with ez math

does .99999.... =  1  ?

i can do many proofs of this lets see how many i can get here


.99999....=.99999.... and 1 = 1. they are not the same number, or the same number in a different form, so they are not equal
