The term 'integer' in a broader sense means 'whole number' and it is being 
used as such. To a computer, there is a distinct difference between integer 
arithmentic and floating point arithmetic, integer arithmetic being the whole 
number variety, signed or unsigned being irrelevant to the nature of things.
