Wide Angle

What does it mean when a camera review mentions the "wide angle" of the lense and the "telephoto"
The specific sentence from a review I was reading was...
'You can get as close to your subject as 2 cm at wide-angle and 90 cm at telephoto on this camera.'
"Wide angle" is when the lens is taking in more of the scene. The wider the angle; the more further away it appears you are from your subject. "Telephoto" is when the lens is taking in less of the scene. The more telephoto; the more it appears you are moving in closer to your subject. When the camera is in the wide angle mode you can physically get as close as 2 cm to the subject and still be in focus. In the telephoto mode you can physically get as close as 90 cm to the subject and still be in focus.
