Integers Floats.
Integers and floats are two different kinds of numerical data. An integer (more commonly called an int) is a number without a decimal point. A float is a floating-point number, which means it is a number that has a decimal place. Floats are used when more precision is needed.

    int a = 0;      // Create a variable "a" of the datatype "int"
    float b = 0.0;  // Create a variable "b" of the datatype "float"

    void setup()
    {
      Serial.begin(9600);
    }

    void loop()
    {
      a = a + 1;
      b = b + 0.2;
      Serial.print("a is: ");
      Serial.println(a, DEC);
      Serial.print("b is: ");
      Serial.println(b);

      if(a > 1000) {
        a = 0;
      }
      if(b > 1000) {
        b = 0;
      }
      delay(100);
    }
