-Description
------------
-
-Integers are your primary datatype for number storage, and store a
-2 byte value. This yields a range of -32,768 to 32,767 (minimum
-value of -2^15 and a maximum value of (2^15) - 1).
-
-
-
-Int's store negative numbers with a technique called
-`2's complement math. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2's_complement>`_
-The highest bit, sometimes refered to as the "sign" bit, flags the
-number as a negative number. The rest of the bits are inverted and
-1 is added.
-
-
-
-The Arduino takes care of dealing with negative numbers for you, so
-that arithmetic operations work transparently in the expected
-manner. There can be an unexpected complication in dealing with the
-`bitshift right operator (>>) <http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Bitshift>`_
-however.

-
-Example
--------
-
-::
-
- int ledPin = 13;
-
-
-
-Syntax
-------
-
-::
-
- int var = val;
-
-
-
-
-- var - your int variable name
-- val - the value you assign to that variable
-
-
-
-Coding Tip
-----------
-
-When variables are made to exceed their maximum capacity they "roll
-over" back to their minimum capacitiy, note that this happens in
-both directions.
-
-
-
-::
-
- int x
- x = -32,768;
- x = x - 1; // x now contains 32,767 - rolls over in neg. direction
-
- x = 32,767;
- x = x + 1; // x now contains -32,768 - rolls over
