The number refers to the ordinal position is, thus the number is the sequence of the result set. And the ordinal numbers does not show the quantity.
When we learn about numbers and its applications, we will study the three types of numbers, there are,
Ordinal numbers
Cardinal numbers and
Nominal numbers.
Explanatory:
Cardinal numbers:
Cardinal numbers shows that “how many”in the group or list. This cardinal numbers are also called counting numbers. Because it shows the quantity. Also it does not have any decimal numbers or fractions, only used for counting.
Example: how many months in a year? Answer is 12 months.
Nominal numbers:
Nominal numbers used to only identify the things. It does not show the quantity or rank.
Example: A bike number on the race.
But here we have to go for only ordinal number and its positions, so let us see what are ordinal numbers?
Ordinal Numbers:
An Ordinal Number is a number that shows the position of something in a group or Ordinal numbers shows the Position (order) of the things in a group from - first; second, third, fourth, etc…and the ordinal numbers does not shown the quantity.
Example: in a bag contains “apple, mango, papaya, jack fruit, pineapple and chappotta” the word “pineapple” is in fifth from order.
Easy to remember: "ordinal" shows what "order" things are in.
Example Problems in Ordinal Numbers:
Example 1:
There are six children in a running race means find the ordinal positions in this?
Solution:
Ordinals locate a place in a sequence, when we describe the child who came in sixth; we are using an ordinal number
A number that tells the position of something in a race in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th.
Example 2:
Indian cricket team players are ordered from Sachin, Shewag, Raina, Yuvraj, Yousuf, Dhoni, Virat, Irfan, Harbhajan, Praveen, Zaheer, who is 1st and who is 8th place from the list?
Answer is: Sachin is 1st from the order of list and Irfan is 8th from the order of given list.
