Title: Integer Data Type in Nushell

Summary

This section defines the integer data type in Nushell. Integers are whole numbers (positive, negative, or zero) represented internally as signed 64-bit numbers. The annotation for integers is `int`. Examples of integer literals include decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary representations. The `into int` command can be used to cast values to integers.
