Yep, I mentioned that as using more complex data structures. A computer can do calculus or algebra but you're going to need to represent the problem with an abstract syntax or expression tree and a set of rules to apply to the tree, which takes up a helluva lot more space than raw types like integers and floats.
I don't want to test your knowledge, I'm just concerned that your comment comes across as computers have always been bad at math, LLMs getting math questions wrong is nothing to new.
Computers are cracked at math.
0.6666667 is just rounding that's thought to school children too. Honestly floating point math gets a lot worse than that, for example
1.1 * 3. But that's still standardized exact behavior.
