Integer literal
In computer science, an integer literal is an integer whose value is directly represented in source code. For example, in the assignment statement x = 1
, the string 1
is an integer literal indicating the value 1, while in the statement x = 0x10
the string 0x10
is an integer literal indicating the value 16, which is represented by 10
in hexadecimal (indicated by the 0x
prefix).
