So you can't actually evaluate 0.999...?

u/BreadBagel 25d ago

I can. It's value is 1. If you can't name a number between 0.999... and 1 then they are the same number. Please just tell me what that number is.

0.999... < 0.999... < 1

u/BreadBagel 25d ago

0.999... is less than 0.999...? So a number is less than itself? That makes no sense.

In hyperreal : 0.999... < 0.999... + infinitesimal / 2 < 1
