Continuous variable: A continuous variable is a type of variable that can take on any value within a certain range. These variables can have an infinite number of possible values and can be measured on a continuous scale. Examples of continuous variables include height, weight, temperature, and time.
Discrete variable: A discrete variable is a type of variable that can only take on specific, distinct values. These variables are typically counted rather than measured and can only have a finite number of possible values. Examples of discrete variables include the number of children in a family, the number of cars in a parking lot, and the number of students in a classroom.
