quantized
Only whole units
Quantized describes something divided into discrete units rather than existing on a continuous scale.
In physics, energy and other properties at the subatomic level come in fixed packets called quanta—you can have one unit or two, but nothing in between.
The term extends to any system with distinct steps: The pricing is quantized at five-dollar intervals.
Digital signals are quantized, converting smooth analog waves into discrete values.
