SUMMARY

The integers 1, 2, and 3 are consecutive integers. The sequence 3, 2, and 1 is also considered consecutive, as the order of integers does not affect their consecutive nature. The discussion emphasizes that the relationship between the numbers remains unchanged regardless of their arrangement. Thus, both sequences represent the same set of consecutive integers.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic integer properties
  • Familiarity with the concept of consecutive numbers
  • Knowledge of number sequences
  • Basic mathematical semantics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of consecutive integers

I was just wondering.

the integers 1 2 3 are consecutive.

are the integers 3 2 1 consecutive ?

Does 2 come after 3? Does 1 come after 2?

But its semantics really, its not important since they are the same numbers related in the same way.
