Vzorec užití:
numeric [data/value/result/score]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use *numeric* when they just mean *number* (for example, saying *“the numeric of students”* instead of *“the number of students”*). *Numeric* is an adjective and should describe a noun, as in *numeric data* or *numeric result*. Learners may also confuse *numeric* with *numeral*; *numeral* is the written symbol (0–9), while *numeric* describes something related to numbers in general.

made only of number digits and no letters.
Vzorec užití:
numeric [code/password/PIN/ID]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes think *numeric* here can also include letters, because in some languages the word for *code* does not clearly separate numbers and letters. In English, a *numeric code* or *numeric PIN* means digits only. If both letters and numbers are allowed, the correct word is *alphanumeric*.
Synonyma
digit-only (Informal, descriptive phrase used especially in technical instructions; slightly less standard than *numeric*.)
Antonyma
alphanumeric (Describes codes or strings that include both letters and digits, the opposite of only digits.)
