1. continuous

   In mathematics, a function is considered continuous if it does not have any jumps, breaks, or holes. More formally, a function f(x) is continuous at a point x=a if the limit of f(x) as x approaches a is equal to f(a). This means you can draw the graph of the function without lifting your pen from the paper. In a broader sense, in other fields such as physics or biology, continuous can refer to any process or operation that proceeds gradually, smoothly, and without any abrupt changes.
