Welcome to Episode 3 of my Python for Bioinformatics series 🎬

In this episode, we’ll explore integers—one of the most important Python data types you’ll use all the time in bioinformatics.

You’ll learn:
✅ What integers are (whole numbers, no decimals)
✅ How to define integers in Python with real bioinformatics examples (read counts, sequence length, mutation position)
✅ Basic integer operations: addition, subtraction, division, comparison
✅ Why integers are essential for filtering, calculations, and loops in your bioinformatics workflows

This series is designed for absolute beginners in Python for biology, helping you build a solid foundation step by step.
