Integer

Domain: Programming Fundamentals

🎯 Motivation

Many programs count things - steps, lives, items in inventory. Integers are whole numbers without decimals.

📋 Concrete Example

lives = 3 or temperature = -5. You can do arithmetic: 3 * 4 = 12.

🔗 Analogy

A counter on a scoreboard - it clicks up or down by whole clicks, never half a click.
