Why restrict ourselves to positive integers here? Hell everyone can be an $XB fintech founder!
- zibzab 5y agoI have always wanted to ask this: Is zero a positive number? And do we always round up? - Possible owner of a mildly successful $xT company.
- OJFord 5y agoUsage varies, there are a few notations for specifying whether the set of natural numbers/positive integers includes zero when it matters. 'Always round up' sounds more like the ceiling function (or ceil•abs) - usually rounding means to the nearest integer, or whatever we're rounding to.
- hardlianotion 5y agoIt's certainly non-negative. Enjoy your status.
- mellavora 5y agoor even restrict to integers? Then we can all be in the club!
- hardlianotion 5y agoWe can be in the club with integers. Consider 0 for example.
- davidwritesbugs 5y agoLet's not get us integers into your fight, we're just watching, OK?
- Grustaf 5y agoExactly, x tends to be a real number, if it were an integer or a natural number you'd use n.
