Does it? Bit of a philosophical question, it seems. I mean, so long as you
stick with integers, if you start with the same numbers and run them
through the same operations then you will end up with the same results
regardless of whether you did it on paper or in a computer. Things get a
little weird once you start going into floating point, but I contend that
that's a difference in implementation/representation, not in math.
