Model for Integer Data

In general, the model set for integers is defined as follows:

The following values apply to this model set:

• i is the integer value.

• s is the sign (either +1 or -1).

• q is the number of digits (a positive integer).

• r is the radix (an integer greater than 1).

• w_k is a nonnegative number less than r.

The model for INTEGER(4) follows:

The following example shows the general integer model for i = -20 using a base (r) of 2:
