KokoroAkechi 05/27/22 5:12:51 PM #8:	This is a case where for like actual calculations it does because the difference between yes and no are not measurable But if I asked you if a line that almost touched a line but didn't but got really really close touched the line... you would say no because I told you it didn't. For example let's say in a fighting game hit box you put something like this in where something actually is equal to 1 and something is very very close but not. Let's say 1 means attacks will hit and less mean they don't. Infinitely close means they don't hit. Of course this is very simplified and I don't think actually come up. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:965347202] in Does .999~...

Even very close may be rounded to 1 and be treated as a hit let alone infinitely close. I mean I wouldn't be surprised if an attack being 0.4 pixels off got rounded to be counted as a hit. In any case, this example doesn't apply since a video game would round numbers all over the place and the original scenario does not. --- My bracket looked like random picks compared to his.

No because ~ isn't the notation for an infinitely repeating decimal. it's the notation for a digit measured with the lowest level of certainty. this generally means you round up to the next significant figure. 0.999~ rounded up to 2 significant figures is actually 1.00 weird case where if the TC is trying to make a 0.999... topic and failing, or if they're trying to troll with a 0.999~ =/= 0.999... topic, the answer is still the same. if someone writes down 0.999~ what they really mean is 1.00 --- only less than nothing, as nothing could have equaled you https://i.ibb.co/5skW2Jq/Mado2.png <cite>MariaTaylor posted [p:965358370] in Does .999~...
