Java int division confusing me
division, int, java, octal
Solution
The value `0200` is an octal (base 8) constant. It is equal to 128 (decimal).
From Section 3.10.1 of the Java Language Specification:
An octal numeral consists of an ASCII digit 0 followed by one or more of the ASCII digits 0 through 7 and can represent a positive, zero, or negative integer.
Problem
I am doing very simple int division and I am getting odd results. This code prints `2` as expected: ``` public static void main(String[] args) { int i = 200; int hundNum = i / 100; System.out.println(hundNum); } ``` This code prints `1` as not expected: ``` public static void main(String[] args) { int i = 0200; int hundNum = i / 100; System.out.println(hundNum); } ``` What is going on here?
