Then number system was introduced.The number system consists of {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}.
But when this equation x+2=2 was solved,it was thought that their exist another number 0.so it was also included in that set and new set was known as the set of whole numbers.Also as time passed,new equation x+4=2 had to solve .From that equation we get the introduction of negative numbers .then rational and irrational numbers came to know.
