-0.999999 repeating

Actually -0.999999 repeating is not the biggest number. How can anyone know that? Well, as every one knows the more further you go down the number line the more smaller the numbers get. So what you are looking for is the number most nearest to zero. However, we have a minor problem. Your number could range within:

0.01 to 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

I do not think that your school will let you put that many zeroes in front of the 1.

But the more zeroes you put in front of the 1, the more the negative number gets bigger.

Any negative number that goes to inifinity. ' -inf'.

Such as number as -1,000,000 can be decreased by ' '-1,000,001' hence one can go on forever.
