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.

Best,
