No. You wrote .333
If you want to precisely write to infinity you write 1/3.
Holy fuck. Where did that 5 come from?
It came from it not being actually .333 to infinity when measured in the required engineering precision i was talking about. It's literally a "common use" mathematical convention (you clearly are unaware of) that three times .333 is one. Solves a lot of problems due to a failure of the notation.
3 times 0.333 is 0.999 not 1.
Saying it equals 1 may be a common engineering convention, but it is mathematically incorrect.
There is no failure of notation if fractions are used, which is why I gave this example of usefulness.
You knows when a person informs you of a convention people use to solve a problem created by notation, you could just fucking learn instead of arguing stupidity.
Your chosen notation solves nothing. Try Representing 3227/555 using 4 trailing dots.
I started here by showing how fractions are useful.
You are the ignorant aggressor, trying to fight centuries of mathematicians by claiming decimals are always better.
