Integer programming is a subset of linear programming where the feasible region is reduced to only the integer values that lie within it.

The algorithms to solve an integer programming problem are either through heuristics (such as with ant colony optimization problems), branch and bound methods, or total unimodularity, which is often used in relaxing the integer bounds of the problem (however, this is usually not optimal or even feasible).
you learn linear programming before you learn the transportation problem.
No, it will not. In fact, there is a special branch of linear programming which is called integer programming and which caters for situations where the solution must consist of integers.
The problem must have given you a list of several whole numbers. The integer range is the difference in size (distance) between the biggest one and the smallest one.
Dynamic programming (DP) has been used to solve a wide range of optimizationproblemsWhen solving a problem using linear programming, specific inequalities involving the inputs are found and then an attempt is made to maximize (or minimize) some linear function of the inputs.
