Think outside the box lol.

Congrats on 4444 but I have no clue how to solve that problem.

u mean like 4/4 = 1 4+4/4 = 2 4+4+4/4 =3 4=4 etc?

Yeah using 4 and symbols.

"Given no more than four instances of the digit 4,
represent all integers using a finite number of
mathematical symbols and operators in common use."
Can you clarify? This makes it sound like I can "represent" all integers without using 4 at all by always replacing each 4 in each integer by "X", thus we have represented all integers... I don't think that's what you intended.

+ Show Spoiler +Uh just write the numbers down? None of the numbers 1-1000 have more than four 4's

huh? represent every number from 1 to 1000?
how about 4X/4? that's every single number ever

fuck you micro
i'm not going to answer your question because 4444 means death death death death in chinese thats really unlucky
curse you micro for being a provincial physics teacher

Yeah the question isn't 100% clear. It means only using the digit 4 (up to four times) and mathematical operators/symbols. I guess using x is technically within constraints, but I do not wish for that.

My guess:
+ Show Spoiler +You could vastly increase the number of numbers representable by using different bases, perhaps all of them. Although if you have to explicitly state the base, that wouldn't work so well.

how do you make the enigma sign or that weird E?

Agreed. I wasn't even aware of a general formulation. I was expecting a copy/paste from another source to win, but I'm forced to accept GoldenSun's answer... even though I'm not 100% happy with the way you have to express the quantity of square routes using such a crude method.

I like how you have gained 8 more posts since 4444 -_-

he cited his source, so he did copy paste...

I guess you were too slow.

I meant a copy/paste of 1000 lines of answers (which is very easy to do).
