A leading 0 (zero) on an integer literal, or a leading 0o (or 0O) indicates it is in _octal_. Octal integer literals can include only the digits 0 – 7. A leading 0x (or 0X) indicates a _hexadecimal_ integer literal. Hexadecimal integers can include digits (0 – 9) and the letters a – f and A – F. (The case of a character does not change its value. Therefore: 0xa = 0xA = 10 and 0xf = 0xF = 15.) A leading 0b (or 0B) indicates a _binary_ integer literal. Binary integer literals can only include the digits 0 and 1. A trailing n suffix on an integer literal indicates a {{jsxref(\"BigInt\")}} literal. The {{jsxref(\"BigInt\")}} literal can use any of the above bases. Note that leading-zero octal syntax like 0123n is not allowed, but 0o123n is fine.\n\nSome examples of integer literals are\n\nFor more information, see Numeric literals in the Lexical grammar reference.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
