Which term describes the data type that stores integer values?

• A. Integer
• B. Decimal
• C. Floating Point
• D. String

Answer: (A)

A whole-number data type is being tested here. An integer stores values without any fractional part, including negative numbers, zero, and positives like -5, 0, or 42. That makes the term describing this data type exactly “integer.”

Decimal and floating-point types are used for numbers that can have fractions (numbers with decimal parts) or approximate representations, while a string stores text rather than numeric values. So, for storing whole numbers, the integer type is the correct choice.
