Why 09 or 009 and 08 or 008 isn't equal to 8 and 9?

I did some simple basic operations in Python 2.7 using > , < and == comparison operators .

Then I stumbled on these dilemma :

9 = 09
False

9 = 009
False

8 = 08
False

8 = 008
False

But others are okay like :

1 = 01
True

1 = 001
True

from 1 to 7 it's okay .... :-(

Prefixing a number with a 0 means you want it to be in base-8 instead of base-10. – Carcigenicate Apr 06 '17 at 00:47

Also `==` is the comparison operator. `=` is for assignments. – Klaus D. Apr 06 '17 at 00:50
Oh im sorry . Yeah it's == . :-) – hobo takes the wheel Apr 06 '17 at 00:52

@KlausD. Didn't even notice that. Clojure's making me blind to that mistake! – Carcigenicate Apr 06 '17 at 01:16
