minus-squarena_th_an@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·14 days agoIf you read it aloud it doesn’t sound right, but from a mathematical perspective it’s saying the number of steps per day should be less than 500, which I think is the intention of the writer, no?
minus-squareVioletSoftness@piefed.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·14 days agoPeople don’t know how to use greater-than or less-than symbols
minus-squareLemminary@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·13 days agoCan’t tell if an Excel enthusiast or a palindrome aficionado. 🤔
minus-squareBackgrndNoize@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-214 days agoYes that’s the intention but they got the order wrong, it would make more sense if it was written as ateps/day < 500
minus-squareCapricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·13 days agoIt’s so wrong it underflowed into somehow being right again. Unusual? Sure. Mathematically? Right.
minus-squaremoseschrute@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-212 days ago500 > steps_per_day Unfortunately I don’t think we have enough information to solve for steps_per_day , though I assume it is also >= 0 . So we can make an educated guess that 500 > steps_per_day >= 0

x>5 <=> 5>x 🤓

Yes

500 greater then steps per day
500 > steps_per_day
Unfortunately I don’t think we have enough information to solve for
steps_per_day
, though I assume it is also>= 0
.So we can make an educated guess that
500 > steps_per_day >= 0
