Answer:
a real number is a value of a continuous quantity that can represent a distance along a line. The adjective real in this context was introduced in the 17th century by René Descartes, who distinguished between real and imaginary roots of polynomials. Real numbers are the numbers which include both rational and irrational numbers. Rational numbers such as integers (-2, 0, 1), fractions(1/2, 2.5) and irrational numbers such as √3, π(22/7), etc., are all real numbers. A real number is any positive or negative number. This includes all integers and all rational and irrational numbers. ... For example, a program may limit all real numbers to a fixed number of decimal places.
