- What kind of number is : a irrational non-terminating number made up of the
- following construct :-
-
- a sequence of positive integers, each separated by a 0 (zero) ...
-
-
- i.e., 0:1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.----101.102.103.---
-
-
- where `:' is the decimal point (!!!)
- where `.' is the zero, while the `---' is supposed to be `...' the ellipsis...
-
- U will clearly find every integer (+ve) in it... But can ```it exist''' ???
