Whereas they're all over Amazon and you can actually buy them.

"Thanks" indeed.

1+1=3 for larger values of 1.

I'd rather be phishing!

What the math is going on around here? Unsure | :~

It's not Pi Day, after all.

You guy making Math great again.

One Equals Zero! -- Math Fun Facts[^]

Repost of sorts but on topic. $Shucks | :-\$

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Just like 0/0 = 2 Big Grin | :-D

I don't know where the documentation writers at MSDN went to school, but I always learned that 1/3 is 0.3333... not 0.9999...

See the code example here[^]

//edit

Nevermind. I can't read. Blush | :O

Thanks, @Lopatir

look again

C#

decimal dividend = Decimal.One;
decimal divisor = 3;
// The following displays 0.9999999999999999999999999999 to the console
Console.WriteLine(dividend/divisor * divisor);

1 / 3 * 3 =/= 0.3333

Sin tack
the any key okay

Apparently we both can't read.

Don't include me in your club. OMG | :OMG:

I read it fine. I was making a subtle joke, apparently too subtle. Wink | ;)

That'd be fake math, wouldn't it?

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

In that case, your math wasn't much better...

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Octal. It must be octal. Smile | :)

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

I ran the code in LINQPad ( LINQPad - The .NET Programmer's Playground[^] ) and it saved me from thinking at all.

I just looked at the output.
Laugh | :laugh:

0.9999999999999999999999999999

Otherwise I was thinking it was supposed to be 0.3333 also. Blush | :O

Intellisense is the only sense I have. Laugh | :laugh:

Edit
Also, I tried this in Win10 Calculator and it told me that
1 / 3 = 0
I believe calculator, whatever it says. Laugh | :laugh:

Oops, then I noticed it was set to Programmer mode. hahahaa Laugh | :laugh:

Nothing strange about that, I can confirm that 1 / 3 = 0, even my calculator agrees (well it had better agree with me)
