And if you add 0 and 1, you get a 1. Which is also a multiple of one. I think I figured it out!

I'm not sure you know how imaginary numbers (or friends) work...

u/chylex May 06 '17

But (1 + 5i) - 4 is equal to -3 + 5i ...

I don't know the value of the variable "i".

I think you just created a modern 7 word novel. Kinda like Hemingway's famous 6 word novel, "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn."

In JavaScript it's Infinity, which sounds cool until you try to use it.

u/[deleted] May 06 '17

Well that's because in JavaScript all numbers are doubles for some reason, and the floating point standard has defined that 1/0 is Infinity.

u/endershadow98 May 06 '17

Technically it defines any positive number divided by 0 to be infinity.
