===About Discrete Variables===
: '''Discrete variables''' are often [[integer]]sintegers, but not always.
===Examples===
: The [[Boiling Point|boiling point]] of an [[alkane]] depending on the number of [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s in that [[alkane]]: The number of [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s is a '''discrete variable''' because you can't have half an [[atom]].
: How the shoe size depends on the size of people's feet: The shoe size is a '''discrete variable''' because there are no sizes between 7 and 7.5.
