Bullshit declare two integers in any language one 7 and one 4 and then write x=7+4; if you find a programming language where that does not yield 11 tell me.

Integers are internally assumed to be base 10 otherwise you could not calculate without giving the base.

All operations on integers addition, subtraction, multiplication and division assume base 10.
