Why does it show error while inputting numbers with leading 0s in python ( not sure if this is same with other languages too)?

So I was working on a python program and by mistake added a 0 in the number while inputting it, as n = 01 It showed the following error:- File "<ipython-input-50-2724200336d1>", line 1 n = 01
^ SyntaxError: invalid token

Why does this happen?

This isn't a "trailing 0". Trailing implies the 0 as at the end whereas in your case it is at the start. – Jacques Jul 22 '20 at 17:54
