NO . the period of a discrete time periodic signal cannot be in fractions. note that the fundamental period of a discrete time signal is given by. N=m(6.2831/Wo) Where Wo is the fundamental frequency and N and m are integers...
A continuous signal is one that is measured over a time axis and has a value defined at every instance. The real world is continuous (ie. analog). A discrete signal is one that is defined at integers, and thus is undefined in between samples (digital is an example of a discrete signal, but discrete does not have to imply digital). Instead of a time axis, a discrete signal is gathered over a sampling axis. Discrete signals are usually denoted by x[k] or x[n], a continuous signal is x(t) for example. Laplace transforms are used for continuous analysis, Z-transforms are used for discrete analysis. Fourier transforms can be used for either.
FDM stnds for frequency division multiplexing and it is used only in case of analog signals because analog signals are continuous in nature and the signal have frequency. TDM-stands for time division multiplexing and it is used only in case of digital signals because digital signals are discrete in nature and are in the form of 0 and 1s. and are time dependent.
A signal is bounded if there is a finite value such that the signal magnitude never exceeds , that is for discrete-time signals, or for continuous-time signal (Source:Wikipedia)
The linear discrete time interval is used in the interpretation of continuous time and discrete valued: Quantized signal.
While processing a signal through a channel, it is preferred to sample it. It is because of the following reasonsAs we send only the samples, the gap between samples can be used to send another signal.Multiplexing is possibleSamples occupy less space than signalsTotal signal may not be required to recover dataAnd hence we use samples which are nothing but discrete time signals. hence, it is called discrete time signal processing.

It is discrete even though time itself is continuous.
THE TERM CONTINUOUS SIGNAL AND DISCRETE SIGNAL CLASSIFY THE SIGNALS ALONG THE TIME (i.e. horizontal axis) where as THE TERM ANALOG AND DIGITAL SIGNAL CLASSIFY THE SIGNAL ALONG THE AMPLITUDE (i.e vertical axis) we often confuse our-self with continuous time and analog signals. An analog signal is a signal which can take any amplitude in continuous range that is signal amplitude can take infinite values on the other hand a digital signal is one whose amplitude can take only finite numbers of values
Date is a discrete variable whereas date/time would be continuous.
