Assuming you specifically mean calculus an integral is basically the area between some graph and the x-axis between two points. Imagine this:
You have a graph with a line on it (doesn't matter if it's a line or a curve or anything, so long as it doesn't loop back on itself, for now, you have a straight line). Now, pick two places on the x-axis to put vertical lines (these are the boundaries you'll work in). Now you have a left boundary, a right boundary, and a top and bottom boundary (the x axis is one and the line is the other). So, you have a 2-d closed shape. The area this shape covers is the integral of that line from a to b. Above the axis is positive and below the axis is negative.
I'll link to a few pictures to help visualize it. In each one there will be an "a" on the left, a 'b' on the right, some graph and the x-axis. Those are the boundaries and the area inside those boundaries is the integral.

It develops the power to apply logic and logic in an integral part of mathematics.
In reimann stieltjes integral if we assume a(x) = x then it becomes reimann integral so we can say R-S integral is generalized form of reimann integral.
