<integer>

The <integer> CSS data type is a special type of <number> that represents a whole number, whether positive or negative. Integers can be used in numerous CSS properties, such as column-count, counter-increment, grid-column, grid-row, and z-index.

Syntax

The <integer> data type consists of one or several decimal digits, 0 through 9 inclusive, optionally preceded by a single + or - sign. There is no unit associated with integers.

Note: There is no official range of valid <integer> values and the specification do not specify a range.

Interpolation

When animated, values of the <integer> data type are interpolated using discrete, whole steps. The calculation is done as if they were real, floating-point numbers; the discrete value is obtained using the floor function. The speed of the interpolation is determined by the timing function associated with the animation.

Examples
