Describe the decimal (Posted on 2019-07-12) Difficulty: 3 of 5

    5   point 11
   10   for I=1 to 22
   20    R=1+10^(-I)
   30    A=1/R
   40    print I,A/1
   50   next
   
finds that when I = 1, i.e., (A=1/1.1), the pattern after 0. is 90909090...

When I = 2, that is A=1/1.01, the value of A is 0.99009900990099...

The number of 9's in a row is I and the number of 0's in a row is I and the pattern repeats, where I is one more than the number of zeros in the original expression.

When there are 99 zeros in the expression, I = 100, so the decimal point is followed by 100 9's and then 100 zeros, and these sets repeat forever.
