Barbara and Simon already gave the correct answer.

I'll just add that for many values, integer and unsigned are largely 
interchangeable since their domains overlap. Any non-negative value 
that an integer variable can hold is also a valid value for an 
unsigned variable of the same size, and has the exact same bit pattern.

That is, coding 10I0 by mistake where the actual function requires 
10U0 is not a disaster, and will still work for half the expected 
values of the function.
