What is the difference between an Integer and a Float?

An Integer is a whole number, like 5 people or 100 Naira. A Float has a decimal point, like 1.5 liters of fuel or ₦10.50.

Think of it like counting eggs versus measuring fuel. You can't have 1.5 eggs, but you can certainly have 1.5 liters of petrol. Python needs to know which one you are using so it can be precise.
