I think we are safe for a while.

And I just asked it myself.

Yes, 9.11 is greater than 9.9. While both numbers start with 9, the decimal places matter, and 9.11 is slightly larger than 9.9.

 

[xavier.batlle]

Yes, like 0.20 is ten times greater than 0.2

 

[DHookom]

Len("9.11") > Len("9.9")

 

[Gasman]

Len("9.11") > Len("9.9")

Strings are different though? Yes?

The question was not specifying strings?, but numerics.

 

[DHookom]

Your assumption is numeric .
If I was less lazy I might try use the words “value of” or other testing.

You are not related to my old team leader are you?
She came back with 'If you are referring to American dates then 9.11 is greater than 9.9'

What happens if you ask ChatGPT "Is the number 9.11 bigger than 9.9"?

 

[Gasman]

No, 9.11 is not greater than 9.9.


Here’s why:

• 9.11 is actually less than 9.9, because:
  
  • 9.11 is the same as 9 and 11 hundredths (9.110)
  • 9.9 is the same as 9 and 9 tenths, or 9.900

 

[isladogs]

Clearly in your original question, it assumed a string. Adding ‘the number’ was necessary to do what you wanted

 

[amorosik]

Even without 'the number' it returns the correct answer

 

[Gasman]

I was just repeating a test that was posted on Facebook.
Also if you read it's response, it actually states 'numerically'
