An integer is a whole number without any fractional or decimal component. In computing, integers are routinely used for counting, indexing, and other operations that require discrete numeric values. Unlike floating-point numbers, integers do not store fractional parts, and unlike strings or characters they represent numeric quantities, not text. Therefore, the correct answer is the one that describes a whole number that may be positive, negative, or zero.
