Talk:Continuous or discrete variable
a flawed and clumsy definition
begin quote:
- In mathematics, variables are either continuous or discrete, depending on whether or not there are gaps between a value that the variable could take on and any other permitted values.

Really? If a variable can assume any value except 0, then that's a gap. Does that make it discrete? Michael Hardy (talk) 14:52, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
