Integers

    The magnitude of integers is only limited by your available memory. However, integers that fit into the word size of your computer are represented more efficiently (this distinction is invisible to the user). Integers are written in decimal notation or in base notation, e.g.:

	0  3  -5  1024  16'f3ae  0'a  15511210043330985984000000
