There are multiple instances where ints have been initialized with values of unsigned ints, and where negative values don't mean anything. When such ints are compared with unsigned ints, it causes sign comparison warnings.

Also, some of these are used just as stand-ins for their initial values, never being modified, thus obscuring the specific conditions under which certain operations happen.

Replace int with unsigned int for 2 variables, and replace the intermediate variables with their initial values for 2 other variables.
