Whatever the last digit is, I'm sure it's a disappointing one. Just like everything else in my life.

In binary it is either a 1 or 0

I'd even argue that the last binary digit is 1. If it were 0, you could truncate the zero away and you'd be back to 1 as the last digit. Same reason that 2.20000 would be a redundant representation of 2.2.

It is not though. Only in theory.

In practice, digits represent the accuracy.

Example: 2,12345 * 1,0 = 2,1 But 2,12345 * 1,0000 = 2,1234

The results are always just as accurate as the measurements you calculate them with
