Abstract: We give a~detailed construction of the complete ordered field of real numbers by means of infinite decimal expansions. We prove that in the canonical encoding of decimals neither addition nor multiplication is {em computable}, but that both operations are {em weakly computable}; we introduce both kinds of computability in greater generality. We determine which additive and multiplicative shifts (restrictions of addition and multiplication to one variable) are computable, and prove that each of these shifts becomes computable after a~permutation of encoding. We ask if it is the case for the bivariate addition and multiplication.
