A half step is the difference between one not including accidentals. So going up a half step would be from an F to F# or B to C.
A whole step is two half steps. So going up a whole step would be from an F to G or B to C#.
If you imagine all the keys on a piano, black and white; a half step is the difference between adjacent keys on the piano and a whole step would have one key in the middle.

∙ 14y agoA half step is a given note being only 1 semitone away from the last (imagine frets on a guitar-- each fret is only 1 semitone from each other in pitch)
a whole step means that it is two pitches away in relation to a previous note. ie..two fret distance on a guitar. (B to a C)
so, half step would be from A to A# (in an ascending fashion) or, C to B (in descending fashion) Flats and sharps=a half step.
a whole step would be A to B (ascending) or, F to E flat (descending)
