You're right with your examples, but pi is a real number and its decimal expansion is simply an approximation. I don't think "without end" or "after its end" has any real meaning, pun intended!

::::The infinite number of digits in the decimal expansion of pi is a [[infinity#Cardinals|countable infinity]] (aleph<sub>0</sub>), the infinity you are talking about is the uncountable infinity of the real numbers (aleph<sub>1</sub>). There is an infinite (pun intended) difference between the two. [[User:Blavek|Blavek]] ([[User talk:Blavek|talk]]) 00:12, September 5, 2021 (EDT)

Andy, do you really think that it is  a good idea to link to the above section '''on a talk-page''' from the main article on [[pi|&pi;]]? And please, read the discussion! (ups, that was the second sentence of this paragraph - you probably already started skipping...) --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 05:23, August 3, 2021 (EDT)
