Huge difference.
.9999~ doesn't equal one, but the difference is infinitely small, which since infinity is just a concept, means that the difference doesn't really exist (in theory). .888~ though is significantly different from .999~, even if you round up .888~ to .89, it's still way smaller then .99 let alone .99~. Meanwhile infinity has not been proven in any real sense, so shouldn't be used in real mathmatics. --- Proud member of the Arv The Great is great fan club!!! Join today by putting it in your sig. ...

the difference between the numbers in the subject line is about one-hundred- thousandth of percent. The difference between the numbesr in the first post is about 12.5%, so if we accepted .8888888~ equal to .9999999, then we would have to accept 100,000~ equal to 112,500.
