Lattice points

Lattice points are specific points on a coordinate grid (like an graph paper) where both the x and y coordinates are whole numbers (integers). Imagine a grid with horizontal and vertical lines; the intersections of these lines are lattice points. These points are important in mathematics for studying shapes, equations, and number patterns. For example, the point (3, 4) is a lattice point because both 3 and 4 are whole numbers, whereas (2.5, 3) is not. Lattice points serve as fundamental building blocks in geometric and algebraic analysis.
