Why do we use int data type?

We use the int data type in C to store whole numbers, like 5, -2, or 1000.

In most programs, numbers come up a lot—whether it’s counting things, doing math, tracking scores, or working with menus and options—so having a way to store and work with integers is really useful.

Also, when you're just starting out, working with integers is simpler than other types like strings.
