Real Number

A real number is any positive or negative number. This includes all integers and all rational
and irrational numbers. Rational numbers may be expressed as a fraction (such as 7/8)
and irrational numbers may be expressed by an infinite decimal representation
(3.1415926535...). Real numbers that include decimal points are also called floating
point numbers, since the decimal "floats" between the digits.
