		Integer built-in type.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Signed 64-bit integer type.
		It can take values in the interval [code][-2^63, 2^63 - 1][/code], i.e. [code][-9223372036854775808, 9223372036854775807][/code]. Exceeding those bounds will wrap around.
		[int] is a [Variant] type, and will thus be used when assigning an integer value to a [Variant]. It can also be enforced with the [code]: int[/code] type hint.
		[codeblocks]
		[gdscript]
		var my_variant = 0 # int, value 0.
		my_variant += 4.2 # float, value 4.2.
		var my_int: int = 1 # int, value 1.
		my_int = 4.2 # int, value 4, the right value is implicitly cast to int.
		my_int = int("6.7") # int, value 6, the String is explicitly cast with int.
		var max_int = 9223372036854775807
		print(max_int) # 9223372036854775807, OK.
		max_int += 1
		print(max_int) # -9223372036854775808, we overflowed and wrapped around.
		[/gdscript]
		[csharp]
		int myInt = (int)"6.7".ToFloat(); // int, value 6, the String is explicitly cast with int.
		// We have to use `long` here, because GDSript's `int`
		// is 64 bits long while C#'s `int` is only 32 bits.
		long maxInt = 9223372036854775807;
		GD.Print(maxInt); // 9223372036854775807, OK.
		maxInt++;
		GD.Print(maxInt); // -9223372036854775808, we overflowed and wrapped around.

		// Alternatively, if we used C#'s 32-bit `int` type, the maximum value is much smaller:
		int halfInt = 2147483647;
		GD.Print(halfInt); // 2147483647, OK.
		halfInt++;
		GD.Print(halfInt); // -2147483648, we overflowed and wrapped around.

		<constructor name="int">
			<return type="int" />
			<description>
				Constructs a default-initialized [int] set to [code]0[/code].
			</description>
		</constructor>
		<constructor name="int">
			<return type="int" />
			<argument index="0" name="from" type="int" />

		</constructor>
		<constructor name="int">
			<return type="int" />
			<argument index="0" name="from" type="bool" />
			<description>
				Cast a [bool] value to an integer value, [code]int(true)[/code] will be equals to 1 and [code]int(false)[/code] will be equals to 0.
			</description>
		</constructor>
		<constructor name="int">
			<return type="int" />
			<argument index="0" name="from" type="float" />
			<description>
				Cast a float value to an integer value, this method simply removes the number fractions (i.e. rounds [code]from[/code] towards zero), so for example [code]int(2.7)[/code] will be equals to 2, [code]int(0.1)[/code] will be equals to 0 and [code]int(-2.7)[/code] will be equals to -2. This operation is also called truncation.

				Returns the remainder after dividing two integers. This operation uses truncated division, which is often not desired as it does not work well with negative numbers. Consider using [method @GlobalScope.posmod] instead if you want to handle negative numbers.
