When I was young I thought integer math on a computer was so simple and easy. After doing some moderately intensive integer calculations in C, I realized that integer math is the work of evil.

The interactions of signed vs unsigned, and short vs long data types, is very subtle and prone to error. One needs to pay very careful attention to compiler/interpreter conventions regarding integer math. In my particular case I was using integer math in C to avoid the overhead of floating point, so it was "worth it."
