## @deftypefn {Function File} {} input_integer (@var{min}, @var{max})
## Prompt integer number, min and max values optional
##
## @code{input_integer (@var{min}, @var{max})} will ask you to prompt an
## integer value, input is checked if it is a true integer number.
##
## If @var{min} and @var{max} are given as pareters and both are scalare
## values they are used as borders for the prompt.
## Output is an integer number.
