Does 0.999... = 1?

<p>

If you wish to talk about 0.0000…1, first rigorously define the number 0.0000…1, and then see what you get. ie, It’s perfectly reasonable to define 0.0000…1 as the number which is greater than 0 but less than any positive real number; but it won’t help you prove that 0.999… is not equal to 1.

i was never trying to prove that .999… was not equal to 1.
I was just saying that the two questions were equivalent to eachother - that is, the answers to both rely on the same logic. it was part of a response to another poster…</p>
