Which is basically just counting a certain distance as long as it's just integers.
I remember the day I learned how multiplication worked.
I described it as adding repeatedly.
To me repeating something a finite number of times implies iterating in order which is basically counting. But that might be because I do a lot of maths and programming.
That's like saying algebra is just spelling with a twist 😄
How so? Isn't using the successor of a successor until you reach 0 or 1 standard for natural numbers or ints?
