I remember I was stunned by my teacher demonstration (I was 14) It was SO simple : X=.999999999... 10X=9.9999999999... 10X-X=9 9X=9 X=1 Needless to say that since this day there were no doubts for me... .999999... is 1 UPDATE : I should have read the tilly's link first. My demonstration is presented there, apologizes for the redundant information... "Only Bad Coders Code Badly In Perl" (OBC2BIP)
