Actually, integers are a subset of the real numbers. I think you mean complex numbers with a non-zero imaginary component.

- mysterydip 8y agoI'm so used to talking data types I forgot in math you're absolutely correct! Cooncidentally in Pascal, real and integer are the names of two numeric data types.
- sheikheddy 8y agoThat's good to know! I was born after Pascal's peak, so I've never used it, so I wasn't aware that I was wrong in a sense :D
- Someone 8y agoIn Pascal Real’s aren’t necessarily a superset of Integer’s (both can be four bytes, with, for example, 2^30+1 representable as an Integer, but not as a Real)
