.9999 = 1???

Im not sure. Ha!

 

here we go again

 

We're on the road again ........

 

Welcome back Katie

Your posts are more welcomed than even mine - thanks for the relief.

Good day in therapy?

 

oh deary me

 

i was thinking, oh a wee bit of debate if .9999 can be countable as 1.

but then ofc i saw katies name.

 

.9999 =/= 1 -Fact

 

You've outdone yourself there Katie.

 

Iontach

we don't do =/= for (I'm assuming) 'roughly equals' this side of the pond.

We do a tilde ~ character over a minue sign

For all the non-geeks, my apologies

 

nah I was trying to do the equals sign with the slash through it meaning "Does not equal" I know we use the same. <Engineering major.

 

Microsoft obviously don't give a * for us geeks!

Give us a 'roughly equals' sign ya bastart gates

I went into character map just for you..

≠
≈

 

And i thought it was just Yanks!!!!!


Only slagging Katie!

 

The double tilde sign isn't 'roughly equals' is it?

I thought that it was (in my day) - going to have to do it over two lines

Are we hijacking katies valuable thread for a geekfest?

 

I believe both are socially acceptable...

From wikipedia. Cause you know everything from there is correct.

 

Oh Iontach - you have taken over from FiferJim as TC's sad googly bastart

(fair enough, you wikipedia'd it, but it;s the same thing)

 

.9999 would be rounded to 1 unless its said to give an answer to a further decimal place

 

if u put a pile of 9s, there'd be a dot thingy above the first nine saying it just goes on, never changing..

Cant believe we're speaking about this though...
