Integers

Integers
represents the domain of integers, as in xIntegers.
MORE INFORMATION
  • xIntegers evaluates immediately only if x is a numeric quantity.
  • Simplify can be used to try to determine whether an expression is an integer.
  • IntegerQ[expr] tests only whether expr is manifestly an integer (i.e., has head Integer).
