In Integer math.  In floating point math, A + B = C +/- (very small

rounding error).

At one time the USA's NASA (*National Aeronautics and Space

Administration*) used Integer math to track their satellites.  I don't

know if NASA is still using Integer math or has gone to Floating Point

math for the calculations now.
