Attributes, how they work?

InovaTech

Hello, I red the cookbook and it helped, but I still holding a doubt between Index attribute and Intiger.
In index it specifies that they cant hold negative numbers, but in Intigers they dont specify.
also can index hold decimals?
I am using the Intigers for keeping lives because my lifes are whole numbers and cant be negative. That will do?
thanks

Integer can hold any whole number, positive or negative.
Index can only hold whole numbers.
You can use an integer attribute or an index attribute for lives.
