I've been having a discussion with a number of parents, teachers, mathematicians, engineers, and others, about what exactly is a "whole number."
Opinions vary, and it's certainly possible just to come up with a technical definition and say "That's the most convenient, that's what we'll use." But I'm interested to know what the community here on HN thinks.

Is "-3" a whole number?
