    Is this a float/string vs integer thing, or did someone forget which way the alligator teeth go?

        I memorized it like this:

        Add another stroke to < and it becomes 4, smaller number Add another stroke to > and it becomes 7 (if you cross it in the middle like I do), greater number

          I learnt it as “the mouth tries to eat the biggest number, so it faces towards the biggest number”

          When you put numbers around it becomes really obvious.

          1<2 = 1 is lower than 2. 1<2<3<4<5<6<7 4>3 = 4 is greater than 3. 9>8>7>6>5>4>…

      Well, the original post reads:

      “On the Tennessee online practice test”

      So it shouldn’t be a comma anyways.

      I’m from Italy but I’ve no problem writing 5.6 or 5,6… Better yet, I prefer the dot to the comma, it feels more “universal”

      It’s a disabled text field being used to display the test result, not something the user can edit without also modifying the page’s code in their browser.

    It takes a while to understand new math.
