Of course a computer can work with _some_ real numbers; but only some. (An awful lot of them, of course. A ridiculously huge number of numbers. More numbers than you could read in a lifetime! While the number is extremely large, it still falls pitifully short of infinity.[1])
The number of integers it can work with is also vanishingly small compared to the total number of integers. However, the number of reals is vastly greater than the number of integers, so the proportion of reals it can work with is even *more* vanishingly small. In some sense. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
