Explanation
- What is Integer?
Integer is a subset of Real Number. It can be broken into these following:
- Positive Integer
- Zero
- Negative Integer
Integer can be any whole numbers. Keep in mind that Integers cannot be fractions, decimal, approximate value, etc. Integers can only be something like 1,2,3,-1,-2,0.
Integers are like Natural or Counting Numbers except they have 0 and negative numbers.
- Positive Integer
Positive Integers are basically a natural or counting number. It starts from 1 to any positive countable infinity. Here is the example of positive integer: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,...
- Zero
Zero is just a number 0. It is between the negative and positive. 0 is neither positive or negative but it is categorized as Zero.
- Negative Integers
Negative Integers are opposite of Positive Integers. The opposite of plus is minus and the opposite of minus is plus. Negative Integers are less than both 0 and Positive Integers. Here is the example: -1,-2,-3,-4,-5,...
Integers are whole numbers with a positive or negative counterparts.
If that doesn't make sense let me make some examples
-4, 100, 9300 would be integers. Using my definition they all have negative or positive counterparts.
-2.3, 7.8888(etc.) 2/3 would not be integers. Even though -2.3 and 7.8888(etc.) have negative/ positive counterparts they are not whole numbers.
Hope that helped!
