explanation:
it’s easy to make mistakes because of integer overflows.
this is the reason why len returns a signed integer,
if it were a unint, in the code snippet below, the value of i will always remain positive because i will overflow.
example from The Go Programming Language book :)

![A code snippet screenshot with the code:
medals := []string{"gold", "silver", "bronze"}
for i := len(medals) - 1; i >= 0; i-- {
fmt.Println(medals[i])
}
the medals[i] will go out of bounds if the length were a unsigned int](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n45d7heasyttl3zjkgmcfde3/bafkreigaeqzaks4uvwrxwb4xlrypl6hprozjnhmoddj66btinihw6rlaei@jpeg)
