Why is 08
considered an out of range int but 07
and below are not?
In most of programming language like Java and C/C++ , the number with leading zero are interpreted as octal number. As we know octal numbers are only represented within 0 to 7 digits only. Hence numbers like 05 , 03 , 054 are valid but the numbers like 078 , 0348 , 09 , 08 are tends to invalid.
For instance, decimal integer 8 will be written as 010 as octal integer and decimal integer 12 will be written as 014 as octal integer.
It has the character u or U at the end of an integer constant. False, It is not an integer constant. Hence the correct answer is 032UU.
There are 4 types of integer literals in Java: binary (base 2) decimal (base 10) octal (base 8)
In Java and several other languages, an integer literal beginning with 0
is interpreted as an octal (base 8) quantity.
For single-digit numbers (other than 08
and 09
, which are not allowed), the result is the same, so you might not notice that they are being interpreted as octal. However, if you write numbers with more than one significant digit you might be confused by the result.
For example:
010 == 8 024 == 20
Since octal literals are usually not what you want, you should always take care to never begin an integer literal with 0
, unless of course you are actually trying to write zero by itself.
Any number prefixed with a 0 is considered octal. Octal numbers can only use digits 0-7, just like decimal can use 0-9, and binary can use 0-1.
// octal to decimal 01 // 1 02 // 2 07 // 7 010 // 8 020 // 16 // octal to binary (excluding most significant bit) 01 // 1 02 // 10 07 // 111 010 // 1000 020 // 10000
There are 10 types of people, those who understand ternary, those who don't, and those who think this is a stupid joke.
