-------
rational numbers are numbers that can be written as a ratio of integers:
2/1, 3/8, -5/8 etc.
---------
irrational numbers cannot be written as a ratio of integers; they are
also described as numbers whose decimal form does not repeat a pattern:
sqrt(2), cube root (5), pi, e, 2.3962374... with no repeating pattern.
All rational numbers have a repeating decimal pattern; try it, you'll see.
