Integer

Integers are whole numbers stored more compactly than numeric values, created by appending an L to a number, like 5L. They matter when memory efficiency counts, since integers take up less space than numeric doubles. Most everyday R code doesn't need to worry about the distinction, since R converts between the two automatically in most operations.
