Wouldn't the term 'whole numbers' be preferred in everyday English?
If I speak about numbers I name them so; "numbers", "whole numbers",
"integer numbers", "real numbers" (not "floating point numbers").
Sometimes, depending on context, I use the term "scalar". When I'm
speaking about "integral types" I don't restrict that term to numbers.
