	<brief_description>
		A built-in type for integers.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		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.
		[codeblocks]
		[gdscript]
		var x: int = 1 # x is 1
		x = 4.2 # x is 4, because 4.2 gets truncated
		var max_int = 9223372036854775807 # Biggest value an int can store
		max_int += 1 # max_int is -9223372036854775808, because it wrapped around
		[/gdscript]
		[csharp]
		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.
		long maxLong = 9223372036854775807; // Biggest value a long can store
		maxLong++; // maxLong is now -9223372036854775808, because it wrapped around.

		// Alternatively with C#'s 32-bit int type, which has a smaller maximum value.
		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.

		var x = 0b1001 # x is 9
		var y = 0xF5 # y is 245
		var z = 10_000_000 # z is 10000000
