Do you understand what a mathematical limit is?  Can you explain it?
 
If you understand limits, you should be able to understand that
0.333..., where the "..." denotes the limit as the number of 3s exceeds
without bound, is exactly equal to 1/3.

OK, in that file you wrote:

    Ex1: A= lim(n->∞) 1-1/n= lim(n->0⁺) 1-n= lim 0.999...=1
         B= lim(n->∞) 1+1/n= lim(n->0⁺) 1+n= lim 1.000..?=1

What do you mean by that question mark?  Do you agree that both limits
in your example (A and B) are equal to 1?
