Can you give me an example of when to use each?

Sure! Use integers for counting people in a room, and floats for measurements like height or weight.

What happens if I use a float when I should use an integer?

Using a float instead of an integer can lead to inaccuracies in calculations, especially in counting scenarios.

Are there performance differences between using integers and floats?

Yes, integers are generally faster and require less memory than floats, making them more efficient for certain operations.
