Decimal expansion

Summary

A decimal expansion writes a nonnegative real number as an integer part and an infinite sequence of digits after the decimal point. It represents the number as a sum of multiples of powers of 1010. For example, 1/4=0.25000…1/4 = 0.25000\dots and 1/3=0.333…1/3 = 0.333\dots.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (1 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
