All natural numbers, 0 and negatives of counting numbers i.e., {…, - 3 , - 2 , - 1 , 0, 1, 2, 3,…..} together form the set of integers.
(i) Positive Integers : {1, 2, 3, 4, …..} is the set of all positive integers.
(ii) Negative Integers : {- 1, - 2, - 3,…..} is the set of all negative integers.
(iii) Non-Positive and Non-Negative Integers : 0 is neither positive nor negative. So, {0, 1, 2, 3,….} represents the set of non-negative integers, while {0, - 1 , - 2 , - 3 , …..} represents the set of non-positive integers
