minus-squaremarcos@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoYou are proposing that can represent the entire rational set?
minus-squarecalcopiritus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 months agoYes that is correct. A BigInt represents the entire integer set. Rational numbers are defined by just 2 integers. Therefore, 2 BigInts represent the entire rational set.
