Answer:

Yes He is Correct!

Explanation:

-8.0 is not an integer, because it contains a decimal point. Just having a decimal point changes the type from integer to double. A “whole number” isn’t really defined in the context of programming, so for that I suppose one would default to the mathematical definition.
