Does 1,9999...=2?

What about 0,4999...=0,5 or 0,00...(infinite zeroes)...1 = 0?

Just because we can't write it out doesn't mean it's not a number you fucking idiot. I suppose you don't think pi is a number? WELL FUCKING WRITE IT OUT THEN!

Thanks for completely ignoring the article I posted, jackass. Here, I'll paste the relevant bits for you:

>"0.9999... is a concept, not a number."
All numbers are concepts. Some numbers, like 1, have stronger links to reality than others, but we are looking at mathematics here, not the real world. If you're going to throw away numbers which can't concretely exist, then you're throwing away pi, e, i, zero, and, frankly, almost all of mathematics.
