Print number with zero on first place

Question

How i can print for example?

int a = 0145236

When I want to use it, it always gives me a octal number.

Answer 1

First, this does not seem to be C -- unless you use a typedef, the integer type in C is int , case-sensitive.

In ISO 9899 6.4.4.1 Integer constants -- Syntax , it is written the Backus-Naur form for the constants:

octal-constant:
  0
  octal-constant  octal-digit

octal-digit: one of
  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

So when you write an initializer constant starting with 0<octal-digit> the lexer will give it some integer type and it will initialize it in base 8.

Answer 2

Whenever you put zero in front of your number it is printed in octal only. That is the way c works. However, if you take input from the user and supposing user entered 0123456 it is stored in your variable as 123456 so just don't add 0 in the beginning of your integer number when hard coding. In case you need to add leading zeros in your number this may help Printing leading 0's in C?
