Integers and floats are two important types of numbers that we use in programming.

Key Differences:

1. Nature:

   • Integers: These are whole numbers. Examples include -1, 0, and 5.
   • Floats: These are decimal numbers. Examples include 3.14 and -0.001.

2. Usage:

   • Integers: We use them to count things or track how many times something happens in a loop.
   • Floats: We use these for measurements or when we need very precise calculations.

Example:

• When you add two integers:
  • $3 + 4 = 7$
• When you add two floats:
  • $3.5 + 2.1 = 5.6$

Knowing the difference between integers and floats can help you pick the right type of number for your programming tasks!
