Negative half integer?

[edit]

Can "-13/2" really be a half-integer, insomuch as integers are positive numbers? Perhaps someone smarter than me can address that edit? --TheEditrix2 14:34, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are mistaken; -14 is an integer. -- Dominus 16:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Worse than mistaken. Stupid, actually. Left my brain in a dresser drawer that day. Thanks for your patience. --TheEditrix2 15:28, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Formula query

[edit]

Second question for a smarter editor: Is ".5" a half integer? If so, it doesn't seem to fit the "Z+.5" formula, inasmuch as 0 isn't an integer. Perhaps this question can be addressed by the text? --TheEditrix2 14:41, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are mistaken; 0 is an integer. -- Dominus 16:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Nature of Integers

[edit]

An integer is, by definition, any whole, natural number, it's opposite(negative) and 0.

Stub?

[edit]

Someone recently added a stub notice. I don't think this article is a stub. I think it covers the subject briefly but thoroughly.

I'm going to remove the stub notice in a couple days unless someone objects.
