Integer programming is a special kind of an optimising problem where the solution must be an integer.
It depends on the problem: you may have to use integer programming rather than linear programming.

Integer programming is a subset of linear programming where the feasible region is reduced to only the integer values that lie within it.
An arbitrary integer is basically the same as any integer. If a math problem says: "Let n be an arbitrary integer", it means that n can be any integer. A random integer in other words.
Some sources say that the answer is no because a negative integer is less than zero and a positive integer is greater that zero. This answer is partially incorrect because if a negative integer is in an absolute value problem, it can potentially be greater that a positive integer. Example: |-11| > 7 because |-11|=11 because it is in an absolute value problem. Simplified, the problem is 11 > 7 So yes, in some cases a negative integer is greater that a positive integer.
I showed the teacher how I arrived at a positive integer as the answer to the math problem.
The answer depends on the nature of the problem.
It depends on the problem. An integer subtraction can be one number, take away another number.
It can't be done!
