==Portions of the number line== [[File:Intervalo real 04.svg|thumb|The closed interval {{math|[a,b]}}.]] The section of the number line between two numbers is called an [[interval (mathematics)|interval]]. If the section includes both numbers it is said to be a closed interval, while if it excludes both numbers it is called an open interval. If it includes one of the numbers but not the other one, it is called a half-open interval. All the points extending forever in one direction from a particular point are together known as a [[ray (mathematics)|ray]]. If the ray includes the particular point, it is a closed ray; otherwise it is an open ray.
