# Int

An **Int** (Integer) **Data Type** represents a numerical value. More specifically, a *whole, precise* number (negative or positive).

**Integers** are used when no decimal point is required, such as the amount of people in a sports stadium.

They are very precise but only have a range between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647.

For very large numbers or very small numbers, [**Floats**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2021.4/getting-started/data-types/float) are a better fit, due to their higher range (at the cost of precision).
