[SOLVED] binary variable in c programme..

mscoder · 01-30-2012, 12:08 PM

Code:

int main()
  
{
    int binary,binary2;
    binary1 =0100;
    binary2=0110;
    printf("%d\t%d\n",binary1,binary2);//prints 64 72..why?
    return(0);                                        
                                                                                            
}

why is the number treated as binary?? is any variable consisting of only zeroes and ones treated as binary??

Octal, actually: numbers beginning with '0' are octal: 0100 = 8^2, 0110 = 8^2+8^1
