My gender is e, which can be represented by neither integers nor floating points.
Can it be expressed or represented approximately in IEEE-754 form?
Always approximated, never truly represented 😞
Unless your encoding has a special value that, by definition, is euler's constant :p
Good point. Specifically code point U+2107 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%84%87
Ah so ur gender can be represented in UTF 8.
No taxation without approximation!
Everything can be represented approximatively.
e = π = 3
