Question

The score with respect to par of several golfers:2,-3,5,0,-1

Answer 1

Arranging the scores becomes:
1. -3
2. -1
3. 0
4. 2
5. 5

Integers represent a vector measurement of numbers which are then presented by negative and positive, this is to indicate how they are far and is displaced from the middle value or the par value of 0.


Like integers decimals are also an example:
Arranging the following numbers in increasing order (2.3, 45.1, 18.735, 0.9862, 7 ) would be: 
1. 0. 9862 
2. 2. 3 
3. 7 
4. 18. 735, 
5. 45. 1 
Take note of the decimal points in which these numbers are associated with however, since these given numbers total varies in interval between each other, this is not directly observed unlike 1.2 1.5 and 1.0
