Literals

Integers can be represented with multiple different literals.

• Hexadecimal

  If any number is prefixed with 0x, it is a hexadecimal literal.

  int n = 0x0012 // 18
  

• Octal

  Numbers starting with a 0 are octal literals.

  int n = 075 // 61
  

• Chars

  A single letter or escaped sequence are character literals. Their value is the ASCII value of the letter.
