What does continuous and discrete?

Answer 1

"Continuous" means there's no smallest piece. If you pick two amounts, then

no matter how close together they are, there's always an amount between

them. Amounts of time, water, and temperature are continuous.

"Discrete" means there is a smallest piece. If you pick two amounts and they're

close enough together, there's no amount between them. Amounts of beans, cars,

and chickens are discrete.
