What is integer?
Integer (also called int): A whole number without a fractional part, of type int. Python integers can grow as large as memory allows, so there is no fixed overflow limit as in many other languages. They are used for counts, indexes and identifiers.
Integer: an example
population = 1_428_000_000 stores a large count; 2 ** 100 still gives an exact result.
