I can honestly say I learned something from the comment section. I was always taught the .9 repeating was not equal to 1 but separated by imaginary i ... Or infinitely close to 1 without becoming 1.

The way I see it is the difference between equal numbers is zero.

The difference between 0.999… and 1 is 0.000…, and since the nines don't end, the zeros don't end, so the difference is just zero.

Meaning 0.999… = 1
