jim_thompson5910 · Answer

Think of integers are counting numbers (both positive and negative versions)

So 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc are integers and so are the negative counterparts (-1, -2, -3, etc)

anonymous · Answer

ok

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

You can easily have 12 people in room for instance, but you cannot have 12.4 people in a room (you can't have 0.4 of a person)

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

Since 0.4 of a person is not a whole person
