Not a natural number. Not an integer. Not a whole number. Yes, a rational number! Yes, a real number!
what is a set??
A set is a collection of items. These could be numbers, people, functions, colors, et al. It is simply a collection. So, each of @ParthKohli 's sets have a specific definition, I recommend looking them up.
Likewise, — natural numbers are the set of numbers like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.......... — whole numbers are the set of numbers like 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8......(note that this is just the set of natural numbers with a zero included). — integers are the set of whole numbers with negative numbers like .....-3,-2,-1 included. — rational numbers are the set of numbers that can be expressed as a quotient of two integers. — real numbers are the set of numbers that exist in nature, even if they are not rational(or irrational).
