A discontinuous variable is a variable that has distinct categories. Blood type is a good example. You could be A, B, AB or O. This contrasts with a continuous variable such as height or weight, where there are an almost infinite number of possible values.

Data for discontinuous variables is usually represented using a bar graph or pie chart, but never a scatter graph.

A discrete variable can only have specific values (often integers), and nothing in between. A continuous variable can not only have (for example) the value of two consecutive integers, but also anything in between.
