Qualitative data :

Qualitative data can be grouped according to categories. It is also called categorical data. This data type is non-numerical in nature. For example :  Sex ( male , female ) , Hair color ( brown, black, blonde, and red ) 

Quantitative continuous :

This is a type of numerical data which represents measurements—their values are described as intervals on a real number line, rather than take counting numbers. For example, height, weight etc.

Quantitative discrete :  

A discrete quantitative variable is one that can only take specific numeric countable values. For example : Number of accident in day, number of pregnancies etc.
