Hi Muhammad!
Thanks for reaching out.
In MySQL, INT(size) is used to store integers with a specified display width. However, it's optional to include the size in brackets. You can simply use INT without specifying a size, and it will work the same way. It is even advisable to do so, as some versions throw a warning message when defining a size. So, usuing only INT will work smoothly.
Hope this helps.
Best,
