Integer

A signed integer.

Input Format:

A sequence of numeric digits, possibly prefixed with a sign character.

Use with do-loops:
When an Integer variable is used as the dependent variable of a do-loop, the associated loop increment is also an Integer.

Examples:
 print $Integer(123)
 -> 123
Context:
This datatype is mainly used to specify do-loop increments when the loop variable is an integral datatype.
