Whole Numbers, Integers, and Real Numbers are different categories of numbers. Throughout the Resource Center, we will make references to whole numbers and integers in regard to rounding. The numbers you will use throughout your life are part of the real numbers. Learn about these three categories in the video below.

Some programming languages use data types such as integers and real numbers as well as strings, null values, and other data types. Here is a piece of coding from the coding language Python that uses integers.
