Those zeros aren't important.


Thousands of years ago, did cauliflower keep broccoli slaves? and, did those broccoli need to fight for their civil vegetative rights?

Probably not, if they were anything like Terry Shiavo.
 
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

32 = 32.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000...

Which comfirms my point exactley, since it doesn't matter how many zero's there are, a hundered million billion zeros is still, zero, 32.00000000000000 is still 32. A hundered million billion .000000000000000000000000000001's isn't .000000000000000000000000000001. You can't multiply zero to two zero's, three zero's, a hundered zero's ect, it's always just zero.
 
You know why calculators spurt out errors when dividing a number by 0? Because they can’t represent infinity.

No it's because yoiu can't divide by nothing. A calculator will neve display 0.00000 or any number of 0's withough a number at the end, thats why you don't see things down as 33.123000000, it's just 33.123. Any calculations you do where the answer is nothing, is zero. If you ask a mathmetician what a hundered zero's is, he'll say zero, it's the same answer with a thousand zero's, or a million zero's or infinite zero's, they're all still zero.
 
But dividing something by zero isn’t zero. How many zeros can go into 32? An infinate number of zeros can go into 32…

Blake
 
But zero is nothing, to have an infinite number of something, you need to have something to start with. You can't have infinite nothing.
 
Can anyone say "Beer can" without sounding like you're saying Bacon with a Jamaican accent?

I can :lol:.
 
So why wouldn't any calculator simply write the answer 0?

EDIT: And since in another thread it's OK to say that 0.9999...=1 then
1-1=0 but
1-0.9999...(which is equal to 1)= 0.00000....1 = 0 (because 1-1 = 0)
so 0.000..1+0.000....1+.... = 32 (or any other number)
Don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say....

Will this segment of code termiante for every input x?
Code: 
while x>1
{
     print x
     if x is even
     then x = x/2
     else x = 3x+1
}
Click to expand...

I don't think it'll terminate for any odd input greater than 1...

edit: Whoops, filled up one of my partitions with a log file for this :lol:

edit2: Ok, just looked into it...obviously I'm wrong...

I'll have to try some bigger numbers...

Now, where did I put those unsigned long longs? ;)
