I am puzled about numbers

[A Evans]

Hello I came across an interesting loop in math today
To me its interesting anyway I don't know if it will interest you

var = 999 % 333

print var
var = 9999 % 333
print var
var = 99999 % 333
print var
var = 999999 % 333
print var

var = 9999999 % 333
print var

var = 99999999 % 333
print var

var = 999999999 % 333
print var
and so on

I guess that just goes to show nine is a universal number
or am I just completely insane and everyone knows this already

So what? Everyone knows that 7 is also a universal number! ;-)

Here I cam across another interesting pattern or am I thinking to close to
binary

P.S thanks for the replies

which brings me to another question seeing these patterns I am making with
numbers how random is the random function in python I mean is it really
possible for a computer to think randomly or is it a pattern like this

var = 999999 % 333
print var

var = 888888 % 222
print var

var = 777777 % 111
print var

var = 666666 % 333
print var

var = 555555 % 222

var = 444444 % 111

Google can help with such questions, and it's a very good idea to get
in the habit of checking there first when faced with a question like
this about computers. Using the search "all about random numbers"
I quickly found this:

http://www.krellinst.org/UCES/archive/modules/monte/node1.html

There are dozens and dozens of other such pages.

Hey Sorry about that I will remember to search google next time before
asking questions on the forum

Thanks for the link

Cheers
