integer

No fractional parts

An integer is a whole number—one without a fractional or decimal component.

Integers include positive numbers (1, 2, 3), negative numbers (-1, -2, -3), and zero.

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