"Integers" are all numbers, positive and negative, that aren't fractions or decimals. Examples: -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,57, 109349503...
Whole numbers are all positive integers. (Including zero, which looks like a "hole". haha.)
Examples: 0,1,2,3,4...
counting numbers are just like whole numbers except they don't include zero. Also known as "natural" numbers. It's like what people naturally count.
Examples: 1,2,3,4...
They are ALL integers though...no fractions or decimals.
