0112 is intepreted as [octal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octal) value so in decimal it is 74. – Michał Krzywański Jul 25 '19 at 16:37

the first chapters of the Java Language Specification are kind of important. E.g. [3.10.1. Integer Literals](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se12/html/jls-3.html#jls-3.10.1) – user85421 Jul 25 '19 at 16:44
