Say you are writing a new piece of software.

You should give each version of your software a number to keep track of its progress.

Examples: version 1.5, version 3.11, version 7.24.

Version 1.0 means your software is officially ready to be used in a real-world setting.

Version 2.0 means you made significant updates to version 1.0.

Same for version 3.0, version 4.0, and so on.
