Why does
System.out.println(0100);
print 64 to the console?
Its not like its converting to binary.

An integer starting with a 0 is interpreted in base 8 (as starting with 0x gives you base 16). Thus 0100 is 100 in base 8, which is 1 * 8^2 = 64.

1Prefix ```0b``` should wor for binary. ```System.out.println()``` will print in decimal. For binary output, you need some format function. – Islingre Sep 09 '19 at 20:44
