In the description of a mathematical set, the term inclusive denotes that the endpoints of a range are included within the set. For example, "the integers -2 to 2 inclusive" refers to the set {-2,-1,0,1,2}; the endpoints, -2 and 2, are included. The term is generally applied to discrete elements.
The term inclusive in linguistics refers to first-person non-singular pronouns that include the addressee, i.e. we including you.
In Boolean logic the inclusive or (or simply or) operator is true if either or both arguments are true. Distinct from exclusive or, which refers to exclusive disjunction, which has a true value if either but not both arguments are true.
In set theory, the attribute of rule(s) for defining the inclusion of elements of a set.
