## Overview
The `to_i` method of an integer instance returns the integer instance itself because it is already an integer.
## Syntax
```ruby
integer.to_i
```
## Parameters
This method does not take any parameters.
## Return value 
The value returned is the integer `integer` itself.
## Example
Let's look at the code below:



# create some integers
int1 = 23
int2 = -10
int3 = 1
int4 = 30**100

# invoke the to_i method
puts int1.to_i
puts int2.to_i
puts int3.to_i
puts int4.to_i

# 
## Explanation
* **Lines 2 to 5**: We create integers `int1`, `int2`, `int3`, and `int4`.
* **Lines 8 to 11**: We invoke the `to_i` method on the integer instances and the returned values are printed to the system console.
