There are two basic kinds of computers: analog and digital. An analog computer represents information in terms of some physical parameter (e.g., the distance a gear has traveled), whereas a digital computer represents information in terms of a code composed of discrete states (i.e., "on" or "off"). When numerical values are represented in these ways, an analog computer's physical state corresponds to a point on the real number line, while a digital computer's digits are sharply distinct from one to the next.
