Real Numbers
N = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...} = Set of all natural numbers
W = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...} = Set of all whole numbers
I = {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...} = Set of all integers

Q = {p/q: p ∈ 1, q ∈ I+} = Set of all rational numbers

A number which is not rational is irrational number.
The set of all rationals and irrational form set of all real numbers (i.e., R)

Real Numbers are the numbers which include both rational and irrational numbers. Rational numbers are the
numbers which can be written in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0. Irrational numbers are
those numbers which cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
