Rules for Integer Literals
We can write a literal integer constant using one of three notations: decimal, octal, or hexadecimal. These notations, of course, do not change the bit representation of the value, which is always binary. For example, we can write the value 20 in any of the following three ways:
- 20 // decimal
- 024 // octal
Literal integer constants that begin with a leading 0 (zero) are interpreted as octal; those that begin with either 0x or 0X are interpreted as hexadecimal.
根据语法来看，0 其实是个八进制数。
By default, the type of a literal integer constant is either int or long. The
precise type depends on the value of the literal—values that fit in an int are type
