No, a repeating decimal is a decimal that repeats its same pattern. For example 0.363636... repeats the same pattern. While 0.12112211122211112222.... is not repeating the same pattern.

The decimal 0.121122111222... is not a repeating decimal because it lacks a consistent repeating sequence of digits. Instead, it progressively adds more digits without repeating any segment. Hence, it is classified as a non-terminating and non-repeating decimal.
