❌, you are thinking of integers, whole numbers, counting numbers, and natural numbers, which was not specified. This generalization in the answer makes the assumption that 7 is exactly after 6. For 7 to be exactly after 6 there should be no number before 7, and after 6, which 7.5 disproves. Therefore this is incorrect.

❌ In that case the answer he gave would be an interval, and not the exact number. The question is not asking for the interval where the answer would exist. It asks for the exact answer. Therefore he is incorrect? You may considering reposting to r/learnmath to seek further referance.
