Syn: All; total; complete; entire; integral; undivided;

Usage: Whole, Total, Entire, Complete. When we use
the word whole, we refer to a thing as made up of
parts, none of which are wanting; as, a whole week; a
whole year; the whole creation. When we use the word
total, we have reference to all as taken together, and
forming a single totality; as, the total amount; the
total income. When we speak of a thing as entire, we
have no reference to parts at all, but regard the
thing as an integer, i. e., continuous or unbroken;
as, an entire year; entire prosperity. When we speak
of a thing as complete, there is reference to some
progress which results in a filling out to some end or
object, or a perfected state with no deficiency; as,
complete success; a complete victory.
[1913 Webster]
All the whole army stood agazed on him. --Shak.

n 1: any of the natural numbers (positive or negative) or zero;

There are an infinite number of integers, though each one is
finite.
An inductive definition of an integer is a number that is either
zero or an integer plus or minus one.
An integer has no fractional part. If written as a real
number, e.g. 42.0, the part after the decimal point will be
zero.
A natural number is a non-negative integer.
Computers usually store integers in binary. Natural numbers can
be stored as unsigned integers and integers that may be negative
require a sign bit and typically use twos complement
representation. Other representations have been used, such as
binary-coded decimal.
Computers are particularly fast when operating on integers as
the operations are built into the central processing unit,
in contrast to floating point numbers, which typically
require the use of a separate floating-point unit.
