If something is discrete . Can it be interval type too?

[Anand Iyer]

age.  is considered discrete.  But, the survey question you're answering might need you to choose from any of the available intervals

are you between 20-30, 31-40, 41 - 50, 51 - 70, or above 70?

[Anita Garg]

What's the difference between continuous and discrete variable .

[Sreejith B]

Continuous variable is the variable whose value can be obtained by measuring . Eg: Time. You can't count time, but you can measure it . Like time taken to travel from A to B . Age of a person in years etc. 

[Vishal T]

To make it short this might be applicable to most of the cases:

To count, Discrete variables are used.

To measure, continuous variables are used.

Hope this helped in some way!

[shree kant prasad byahut]

If  the graph plotted for the variable  is a continuous line or curve then it is a continuous variable and if it is plotted as discrete points on the graph it may be considered as discrete variable.

[Lalasa M]

Discrete values can be counted 

Cont variables can take decimal values too.
