alt Hacker Newshow can i pick a real number at random though?
i tried Math.random(), but that gave a rational number. i'm very lucky i guess?

How did you test the output of Math.random() for transcendence?
When you apply the same test to the output of Math.PI, does it pass?

You can't actually pick real numbers at random. You especially can't do it on a computer, since all numbers representable in a finite number of digits or bits are rational.
