non-integer
Between the integers
A non-integer is any number that isn't a whole number—it contains a fractional or decimal component.
Fractions like 3/4, decimals like 2.7, and irrational numbers like pi are all non-integers.
The term appears mainly in mathematical and programming contexts: The function returns an error if given a non-integer.
