Discrete  (DISCRETE)


A variable is continuous1 in a given interval when it can take an infinity of values between any two points contained in the interval. In the opposite case it is said to be discontinuous2. Where a variable can take only certain isolated values it is called a discrete3 variable.

  • 1. continuous adj. — continuity n.
  • 2. discontinuous adj. — discontinuity n.
