    NUMERIC AND TEXTUAL DATA

                      In our daily life, we use both numbers and words to share information. Numbers
                      help us count, measure and compare things, while words help us describe people,

                      places and objects.

                      Numeric Data

                      Numeric data means numbers. We can use these numbers to do maths like adding,

                      subtracting,  multiplying  and  dividing.  Numeric  data  helps  us  measure  things  or
                      count them.
