Re:One does not simply calculate the absolute value by edflsafoiewq on Monday August 23, 2021 @12:31AM (#28272350)
I don't really understand. Why is it important that there be two zeros so that

1/ (+0) = +∞ but 1/ (–0) = –∞

but not that there be two, say, 3s so that

1/ (3⁺ – 3) = +∞ but 1/ (3⁻ – 3) = –∞

But we already have two threes: +3 and -3.

It's not that it's important there be two, just every number already had 2 except for 0.
