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).

Integer programming is a subset of linear programming where the feasible region is reduced to only the integer values that lie within it.
Definition of 'Zero-One Integer Programming' An analytical method consisting of what amounts to a series of "yes" (1) and "no" (0) answers to arrive at a solution. In the world of finance, such programming is often used to provide answers to capital rationing problems, as well as to optimize investment returns and assist in planning, production, transportation and other issues.
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.
It depends on the problem. An integer subtraction can be one number, take away another number.
An irrational number is not an integer or whole number and it can't be expressed as a fraction.
