I Can I add any number of zeros to 0.00 ... 1?
When I add 0 in the middle of 0.001, it seems that I can add any number of 0 without restriction. If so, is it still a limited number? Of course, I can't add infinite zeros in front of it.- nmz

I What Is the Customary Definition of Zero Mapping in Set S Mappings?
In the context of the mappings of a set S into itself, when S is not number system with a zero, what is the customary definition for "zero mapping"? ( ChatGPT says that its a mapping that maps each element of S to some single element of S , i.e. maps all elements to some constant. )- Stephen Tashi

So the confusion here is that division by zero is often said to be undefined.

In other words are the set of points where x=y the same as...- Andrew Wright
