No, you don't have to require integer, because it is in the core. The 
core is always available. You can read the docs here:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/

And there is a standard library too:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/

Most of these are not available by default. If you want to use a YAML 
parser, you have to require YAML.
