Hello. Can anyone help me with guidelines for when to use the words
"number," "integer," "digit," and the like. I find this very confusing.
I am corrected often by scientific types around here that really know
the proper meanings/uses of these words, and I'd like to clear it up.
Websters is not much help on this score.
