Integer

Boxed numeric type

An integer is a whole number—positive, negative, or zero—without fractions or decimals: -3, 0, 47.

The term belongs primarily to mathematics and computing, where the distinction between integers and other number types matters: The function only accepts integers.

In everyday speech, "whole number" is more common.
