tl;dr: You can use Integers to save whole numbers. Inserting a float value like 0.5 will result in 0 when stored as an integer. Rounding and floor/ceiling instances will vary. Check with your local integer provider for moar options.
Integers can be over 9000, but not bigger than 2^63. Using Integers the wrong way can result in bugs in software. Using MAX_INT can be used to fuck up bad websites.
Note: Sometimes integers can be bad. For instance, trying to round pi to three could result in not a circle, but a tightly-wound spiral.
Examples of Float to Integer conversion:
Number | Result | Comment |
Over 9000 | Over 9000 | Great power level, but don't use as a power of a number bigger than 1. |
15.9 | 15 | But she was almost 16. |
15.9 | 16 | 16 in the state of Florida for great justice |
13.0 | 49 | That's not a 13-year old you are chatting with |
17.9 | 17 | childporn? But she was almost 18. |
17.9 | 18 | childporn? It looks like an adults vagina, so it's not CP |
1/2 | 0 | Dividing primes is a bad idea. |
1/0 | Oh shi- | You can't divide by zero you idiot. |
