An integer is a whole number. Counting numbers (1,2,3, etc), their negative counterparts and 0 are the integers. Any number that is not an integer is a non-integer.

Non integers may be fractions (such as 2/5 or -3/7) or mixed fractions (12/5). In decimal form these would be terminating or recurring decimals.

Or they may be Irrational Numbers such as sqrt(2), or cuberoot(-3) or π. In decimal form these would be infinite, non-recurring decimals.
