Numeric answers are spaces for interviewees to add a number within a questionnaire. They are either Integer or Float. Key considerations are:
- Integers are whole numbers only.
- Floats allow a decimal place.
- Many can be covered by a generic field such as ‘How many’ or ‘Age’.
- Formats, minimums and maximums matter so ‘Number (Integer, Min: 0, Max: 10)’ is not the same as either ‘Number (Float, Min: 0, Max: 10)’ or ‘Number (Integer, Min: 0, Max: 20)’.
