Doesn't saying .999 imply if there were a last digit it would be a 9 which implies 1 minus .999 would be infinite zeroes and then a 1 digit. But there is no last digit because it is infinite, but infinity is also not a number which means that technically the .9 will still be there even if there is no last digit and so will the .1 be there lol.

Nope.

there’s never a 1 digit, if math is finite the computer algorithm for printing the next digit will just print 0 until it dies or runs out of storage space.

meds now, schizo.

>>17044009
actually there is and it occurs the moment you run out of money.

>>17044052
common thoughtless mistake, not thinking it through. if you run out of money, it stops printing the next zero. why would it give you a free one, that makes no sense lol
