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,
