Open Interval 

the set of points between two given points. In other words, if a and b are the coordinates of the two given points, then the set of points having coordinates x such that a ≤ x ≤ b is an open interval. An open interval does not contain its end points and is denoted by (a, b). In contrast, the closed interval [a, b] contains its end points and consists of the points having coordinates x such that a ≤ x ≤ b.
