An interval can be melodic, one note after the other, or harmonic, both together, and a melodic one can fall. Always measure it up from the lower note.
Together or apart
Notes played one after the other make a melodic interval; notes played together make a harmonic interval. The number and type are found the same way for both.
Quick check
