Allright, tell that the next flightcomputer that breakes down because he multiplied 0,333 and didn't get to 1 ;)

You know, float are not real numbers. (likewise Computer Science is not Mathematics) :-D

But its both logic :) And 0,999 is not 1 it's even written different :sigh: But i guess we could debate ages about that

Right: we could follow all the nines until we find a difference. :laugh:

Take your pick: How Can 0.999... = 1? | Purplemath[^] For example:

  x = 0.999...

10x = 9.999...
10x - x = 9.000...
9x = 9
x = 1

Nope - 6 × 0.1666... = 0.9999... It's simple multiplication:

1 x 6 = 6 (0.6)
6 x 6 = 36 = add 3 to the column on the left (6 + 3 = 9), and put 6 in this column (0.96)
6 x 6 = 36 = add 3 to the column on the left (6 + 3 = 9), and put 6 in this column (0.996)
6 x 6 = 36 = add 3 to the column on the left (6 + 3 = 9), and put 6 in this column (0.9996)
6 x 6 = 36 = add 3 to the column on the left (6 + 3 = 9), and put 6 in this column (0.99996)
etc.

Because you're repeating the operation an infinite number of times, there's no point where you stop and leave the last digit as 6. There's always another digit to the right which needs to be multiplied by 6, carrying the 3 into the current column.

So this works only for 0.999999 ? Because the 6 at the end is in this case important to show that it wont be a 1 in the end :) But nevermind, this is all just playing with numbers :)

But there isn't a 6 at the "end", because there isn't an "end"! :laugh: Think of it like this:

using System;

static class Program
{
static void Main()
{
while (true)
{
Console.WriteLine("9");
}

    Console.WriteLine("Squirrel!");
}

}

If you run that program, how long will you have to wait before it prints "Squirrel"?

mmm working by 9, not working by 6 what about 69? does it works? Oh, wait... I think I stop now since I am about to break the KSS rule :laugh: :laugh: I am still on the way getting my coat

That's bloody brilliant!

[Florgenator]

Actually, yes 0.9999..... is in fact 1: x = 0.99999.... 10 x = 9.999999.... multiply by 10 10 x = 9 + 0.99999.... split right side into arithmetic expression 10 x = 9 + x replace 0.9999.... with "x" 9 x = 9 subtract "x" from both sides x = 1 divide by 9. without dividing by "0"

Thank god signature is not an object you first have to convert .ToString() right?

If you divide by zero you get sucked into the mathematical black hole where all logic is lost. But if it were true that 1=0, would that simplify chip design? "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, drink deeply or taste not."

[BallsMcShaft]

The second statement is false. if x = y, then x2 does not equal xy; x to the second power equals xy. For example: if 1=1 then 1(2) does not equal 1(1) Bullshit from the start, not to mention the division by zero
