<brief_description>
Integer built-in type.
Built-in integer Variant type.
</brief_description>
<description>
Signed 64-bit integer type.
It can take values in the interval [code][-2^63, 2^63 - 1][/code], i.e. [code][-9223372036854775808, 9223372036854775807][/code]. Exceeding those bounds will wrap around.
[int] is a [Variant] type, and will thus be used when assigning an integer value to a [Variant]. It can also be enforced with the [code]: int[/code] type hint.
Signed 64-bit integer type. This means that it can take values from [code]-2^63[/code] to [code]2^63 - 1[/code], i.e. from [code]-9223372036854775808[/code] to [code]9223372036854775807[/code]. When it exceeds these bounds, it will wrap around.
[int]s can be automatically converted to [float]s when necessary, for example when passing them as arguments in functions. The [float] will be as close to the original integer as possible.
Likewise, [float]s can be automatically converted into [int]s. This will truncate the [float], discarding anything after the floating point.
[b]Note:[/b] In a boolean context, an [int] will evaluate to [code]false[/code] if it equals [code]0[/code], and to [code]true[/code] otherwise.

int myInt = (int)"6.7".ToFloat(); // int, value 6, the String is explicitly cast with int.
// We have to use `long` here, because GDSript's `int`

int x = 1; // x is 1
x = 4.2; // x is 4, because 4.2 gets truncated
// We use long below, because GDScript's int is 64-bit while C#'s int is 32-bit.

maxLong++; // maxLong is now -9223372036854775808, because it wrapped around.
// Alternatively, if we used C#'s 32-bit `int` type, the maximum value is much smaller:
int halfInt = 2147483647;
GD.Print(halfInt); // 2147483647, OK.
halfInt++;
GD.Print(halfInt); // -2147483648, we overflowed and wrapped around.

int maxInt = 2147483647; // Biggest value an int can store
maxInt++; // maxInt is now -2147483648, because it wrapped around
[/csharp]
[/codeblocks]
In GDScript, you can use the [code]0b[/code] literal for binary representation, the [code]0x[/code] literal for hexadecimal representation, and the [code]_[/code] symbol to separate long numbers and improve readability.

Cast a float value to an integer value, this method simply removes the number fractions (i.e. rounds [param from] towards zero), so for example [code]int(2.7)[/code] will be equals to 2, [code]int(0.1)[/code] will be equals to 0 and [code]int(-2.7)[/code] will be equals to -2. This operation is also called truncation.
