Yes it is. It is an ordinal variable ( which means it is meaningful ) because rank has an order and it is meaningful to rank the soldiers.
A categorical variable (also known as a discrete variable) is one whose range is countable; e.g. the variable answ has values [yes, no, not sure]. answ is a categorical variable with range 3.A continuous variable is one which is not categorical; e.g. weight is a continuous variable which can take any value between 0 and 1000 kg (say) for a human being.
A dummy variable assumes a value of either 0 or 1. A categorical variable assumes one of a usually small number of values. For example, a categorical variable might assume the values 'F' or 'M' for female or male.
yes
No, the level of satisfaction in a class is not an example of a categorical variable; it is typically considered a continuous or ordinal variable. Satisfaction can be measured on a scale (e.g., from 1 to 5), indicating varying degrees of satisfaction, rather than fitting into distinct categories. However, if satisfaction is grouped into categories (e.g., "satisfied," "neutral," "dissatisfied"), it could then be treated as a categorical variable.
continuous discrete
yes a gender is a categorical variable
Categorical.
Color is considered a categorical variable.
Yes.
Yes.
Neither. It is a discrete variable.

It depends on how the variable is used. At its simplest, it would be a nominal or categorical value but, if used as part of a time series, it would be an ordinal variable.
yes
Age is acontinuousvariable because it can bemeasured with numbers. A categorical variable deals with nominal variables example male or female, political view, etc
