Second, ordinal data types are higher than nominal and Can be used to rank or order persons or objects or events.

The distance between consecutive numbers has meaning, and the data are always numerical. For instance, Fahrenheit temperature - can be ranked, and the amount of heat between consecutive numbers is the same. In interval-type data, a Zero point is not a natural or fixed zero point - zero is just another point on the scale and does not mean the absence of the phenomenon. Fourth is the ratio data type.
