Check this out:

i[n] = (floor(1/9 * 10^n) / 10^n) * 9 = .999....

Right?

Lets check:

i[0] = (floor(1/9 * 10^0) / 10^0) * 9 = 0
i[1] = (floor(1/9 * 10^1) / 10^1) * 9 = .9
i[2] = (floor(1/9 * 10^2) / 10^2) * 9 = .99
i[3] = (floor(1/9 * 10^3) / 10^3) * 9 = .999
...

See?

Each iterate gets closer and closer to one. Got it?
