| It's a proven fact. I'd like to know what you think about it. |

| You're trying to get people riled up, but this is Scripters 2015 and no one's going to really care to argue about it like they would have in the past. |

Yes I was
x = 0.999... 10x = 9.999... 9x = 10x - x = 9.999... - 0.999... = 9 x = 9x/9 = 9/9 = 1 x = 1 0.999... = 1 |

0.999 is confirmed to equal 1 Especially with rounding. Rounding is always 100% factual There is also mathematical proof with the mathematical rigor |

| obvious troll thread but idk why this was ever a discussion since 0.999 repeating can't be any more of a real number than infinity is |

If it is equal to 1, and 1 is a real number, then 0.999... is certainly a real number. |

| Also, infinity too might be a real number depending on what you mean by “real number”. If you mean the set of real numbers, then it isn't. |

| But 0.999 is not a real number because 0.999 + 1 is not 2 |

True fact: .999 + .999 = "fish" |

Equality in Lua is not the same as equality in mathematics! |

| He meant 0.999 repeating, not an ellipse, but seriously, don't even bother. Threads like this were started up several times in old scripters, most of which to get people involved in a pointless argument. |

| By the way, if you run print(0.99999999999999999==1) in the command bar in ROBLOX Studio, you will get “true” in the output. This is another good example of how 0.999... is equal to 1. |

| This is another good example of how you are trolling on modern scripters cause every skid in the world thought that was valid on older but similar threads. |

Aren't they the same thing, anyway? |

quick eq
1 /3 == 1/3
1/3 == 0.33333...(repeating)
0.3333...(repeating) * 3 == 0.99999...(repeating) 1/3 * 3 == 1
therefore
1 == 0.99999...(repeating) |

That's not a very rigorous proof… |
