The BINARY_INTEGER datatype is used for declaring signed integer variables.

BINARY_INTEGER variables are stored in binary format, which takes less space.

Calculations on binary integers can also run slightly faster because the values are already in a binary format.

The Syntax for the BINARY_INTEGER Datatype

variable_name BINARY_INTEGER;

Here is a sample declaration:

my_integer BINARY_INTEGER;

A BINARY_INTEGER variable can store any integer value in the range -2,147,483,647 through 2,147,483,647.
