GFact | Putting a 0 before an integer constant
Predict the output of following program.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x = 012;
printf ( "%d" , x);
getchar ();
return 0;
}
|
The program prints 10. Putting a 0 before an integer constant makes it an octal number and putting 0x (or 0X) makes it a hexadecimal number. It is easy to put a 0 by accident, or as a habit. The mistake is very common with beginners.
