What's the difference between a digit & an integer ? Or are they same ? How to apply logic in case of DS ?

Integers are defined as: all negative natural numbers $$\{...,-4, -3, -2, -1\}$$, zero $$\{0\}$$, and positive natural numbers $$\{1, 2, 3, 4, ...\}$$. So, there are infinitely many integers. Note that integers do not include decimals or fractions - just whole numbers.

While there are only 10 digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Hope it helps.

Digits are like alphabets of numbers. Hence, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 are the only possible digits.
Integers are special kind of numbers. They cannot be fractional. They can be negative, positive or 0.
