Integers are whole numbers. 1, 2, 3. No fractions like halves or fourths and no decimals. 672 is an integer and a real number. 672.4 is a real number but not an integer. You didn't ask, but imaginary numbers have neverending and never repeating decimals; the square root of 2 is an imaginary number.
All integers are real numbers but not all real numbers are integers.

The basic question has been answered, with examples, The term "real number" is a retronym coined in response to "imaginary number". Since you asked the question on the "software" category, I can assume you are concerned with programming languages and computers. Here the terms take on a real significance (no pun intended). Integer arithmetic is exact, but real arithmetic is approximate. To minimize errors, never declare a variable as "real" when "integer" will suffice.

Integers are negative,zero and positive numbers.
ex. Integers, Z...-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3...
Real #'s consist of
1. Rational #'s Integers, fractions, decimals that terminate or repeat pattern.
ex. Decimals that terminate: 0.12
ex. repeating pattern: 1/3 or .333
2. Irrational #'s decimals representation keep going on forever but doesn't have repeating pattern.
ex. pie,square root of 2 and 3 square root of 13

H there !
The integer numbers are the "zero", "the real numbers" and the "negatives of the natural numbers".
Real numbers are the common natural whole numbers 1.2.3,4,5 etc.etc...
Best wishes !
