What is an IntValue/IntegerValue? [closed]
I heard about this thing called a "IntValue" and, could someone tell me what it does?

IntValue short for Integer Value is used for numbers only.
local IntValue = 1234567890
(I know this question is over a year old at this point, but I'd like to add a better description to the previous answer so that the newer developers can have a greater understanding of IntValues!)
What are IntValues?
An IntValue or an IntergerValue is a data-type that confines a 64-bit integer. IntValues/IntegerValues can incarcerate any type of number except decimals and strings.
EX:
A sample would be this: 9858943 (of course this can be any number. This number is for demonstrational purposes).
But not this:
98848.342 [Because Intvalues cannot hold decimals, a NumberValue would be suitable for this case.]
Why are IntValues useful?
Intvalues are useful for properties/objects that can input numbers alongside a datatype.
A strong example would be items that are notional like Leaderstats, voting system, plotting- system and more.

What are NumberValues?
(This is off-topic to your question, but you can use a NumberValue if you want to dispatch decimal datatype).
NumberValues are essentially IntValues. The only difference is that NumberValues can only hold decimals, whereas IntValues CANNOT!
This is just a brief explanation of NumberValues. You can use the developer hub for a greater understanding of NumberValues/IntValues.
Thanks, JesseSong!
