Answer

A number that can neither be expressed as a terminating decimal nor be expressed as a repeating decimal is called an irrational number. A rational number, on the other hand, is always a terminating decimal, and if not, it is a repeating decimal. Examples of irrational numbers: $0.101001000... 0.232332333...$
