 Three possible answers depending on your definition of Whole Numbers
 
 If Whole Numbers are the positive Integers, then {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
 
 If Whole Numbers are the non-negative Integers, then {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
 
 If Whole Numbers are identical to the Integers, then {...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
 
 All three definitions are valid depending on who you are using for a source.  Look up Whole Number in Wikipedia or Wolfram MathWorld.
