Can the number presentation like 0.2012345678....... be said to be non-recurring and non-terminating?

The "...." at the end of your number means it's non-terminating and non-recurring. Such numbers are called irrational numbers. eg.: sqrt.2, sqrt3, pi, etc. It is more convenient to express an irrational number as one derived from a division or as a square root.
