RE: 1 = 0,99........

(10-06-2012, 10:44 PM)Bridge Wrote: A calculator is a computer. I realize it is legit on paper but it is simply not practical. Almost all big calculations are handled by computers. You probably already know this, but there is no such thing as infinite memory. The number infinity has no calculable value and the value of 0.9~ requires an infinitesimal to precisely calculate and by definition computers need measurable data to calculate. Therefore neither of these operations are possible to truly calculate on computers. You always need to approximate, and with approximation comes a loss of data.
A calculator is a computer, but a computer is not a calculator. A modern computer cannot calculate the value "0,9~" if that is what you mean but it can calculate the value 1 which is equal to 0,9~. Also, a computer can calculate a sequence with infinite series.

There is no distance between 1 and 0,9~. If there is, it is infinitely small.
•I have found the answer to the universe and everything, but this sign is too small to contain it.
