## Overview
The **`size` property** of an integer is used to get the number of bytes in the machine representation of `int` (machine-dependent).

## Syntax
```ruby
integer.size
```
## Return value
The value returned is an integer, which represents the number of bytes in the machine representation of an integer.
## Code example


# create integer values
int1 = 10
int2 = 256**20 + 1
int3 = 256**10 - 1
int4 = 300 **4 - 3

# get size
puts "#{int1.size}"
puts "#{int2.size}"
puts "#{int3.size}"
puts "#{int4.size}"

# 
## Code explanation
* **Lines 2–5**: We create some integer values.
* **Lines 8–11**: We use the `size` property to get the number of bytes of the integers. And then, we print the results to the console.

What is the integer.size method in Ruby?

The `size` method in Ruby returns the number of bytes in the machine representation of an integer.
