Adding integers and adding whole numbers are similar because they can include positive and negative numbers. HOWEVER whole numbers don't include 0 but integers do.

Answer:

INTEGERS :

Integers are the collections of positive numbers and negative numbers and zero. They contain the whole numbers with positive and negative signs.

WHOLE NUMBERS:

Whole numbers are the counting figures which are used to count the things. They are the natural numbers with zero.

Similarity to adding whole numbers and Integers

when two whole numbers or two positive numbers are added than they follow same law.

for e.g, 4 and 5 are two whole number or integers , the answer is 9.

But in case of negative numbers , their is different addition

number sign operation

Two positive numbers positive add

one positive and one negative greater number sign subtract

number

Two negative numbers negative add
