A continuous function allows the x-values to be ANY points in the interval, including fractions, decimals, and irrational values. A discrete function allows the x-values to be only certain points in the interval, usually only integers or whole numbers.: Graph the continuous function: y = x 2 for all Reals.
Discrete data take particular values, while continuous data are not restricted to separate values. Discrete data are distinct and there is no grey area in between, while continuous data occupy any value over a continuous data value.
