alleryWhy can a computer integer type hold only some integers?

BIntegers have no real sign
CZero cannot be stored there

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Computers have finite capacity
1. Integers go on forever in both directions.
2. A practical computer has finite capacity, so a type holds only a subset.
3. Signs, zero and negatives are not the reason.
