## 8.89 integer

Pragma that tells the compiler to use integer operations from here to the end of the enclosing block. Improves processing time on systems without floating-point hardware support.

>     use integer;

>     $x = 10/3;   # $x is now 3, not 3.33333333333333333

Use the `no` `integer` directive to turn off `integer` inside an inner block.
