It would be kinda dumb to force everyone to keep casting back to a double, no? If the output were positive, should it have returned an unsigned integer as well?

int coerces to double automatically, without explicit casting

The CPU has to do real work to convert between float and int types. Returning an int type would just be giving the CPU extra work to do for no reason
