Give an explaination on what Comparing integers is

Paraphin [41]

Okay so basically an integer is just a whole number that isn’t a fraction. Comparing integers is basically comparing whole numbers. For example, comparing the numbers 2 and 34 would be 2<34 and that’s comparing them to each other! :)
