Yeah, but in computing (well, specifically the language this slide is about) they’re referred to as integers and not referred to as “whole numbers” or any other synonym. If you’re looking up something to do with integers in the documentation, you need to have the word “integer” in your vocabulary as “the” way to refer to numbers without decimal places to find what you’re looking for. Same way you need to know “string” instead of “word” or “text field” or “sentence”.
they are known as integers outside of computing too lol
