No irrational numbers are whole numbers.

That statement is correct. Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers and have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions. Whole numbers, on the other hand, are non-negative integers including zero. Since irrational numbers cannot be expressed as whole numbers, the statement "No irrational numbers are whole numbers" is true.

Let me make this clear right here and now: Irrational numbers are NOT whole numbers.

Whole numbers are only positives and zero, while irrationals are numbers that cannot be written as fractions.

Examples of Whole Numbers:

1, 2, 76, 12345, 65432, 54

Examples of irrationals:

π, e, √3, √7
