much smaller, all integers have 64 bits of precision and do not
contain decimal points.
You can specify an integer as a mathematical equation that uses an
asterisk (*) to multiply, a plus sign (+) to add, a minus sign (–) to
subtract, a slash (/) to divide, and parentheses [( )] to specify order

Numbers in an equation that:
I
Begin and end with no suffix are decimal
I
Begin with 0x or end with h are hexadecimal
I
End with o indicate octal
I
End with z indicate binary
You can attach special multipliers to the end of any number to

You cannot use decimal points. To specify 1.5 GB, for example, you
