Interval arithmetic is a mathematical technique used to handle and represent ranges of values, rather than single precise numbers. In interval arithmetic, numbers are represented as intervals, which consist of a lower bound and an upper bound. For example, an interval \\(\[a, b\]\\) represents all real numbers \\(x\\) such that \\(a \\leq x \\leq b\\).
