How to create an octal value in Swift using the 0o keyword
Overview
Numbers are present in the decimal format, like 10, 4, 235, and so on. However, there are other representations of number values. This includes binary representation, octal representation, hexadecimal representation, and so on. To create a variable and initialize it with an octal value, we use the 0o keyword.
Syntax
0o(octalDigit)
The syntax to create octal value with 0o
Parameters
0o: This is the keyword to create an octal value in Swift.
octalDigit: This is the octal digit we want to use.
Return value
The value returned is an octal value.
Example
// create variables with octal valueslet octal1 = 0o4;let octal2 = 0o7;let octal3 = 0o0;let octal4 = 0o75;// print the decimal equivalentsprint(octal1)print(octal2)print(octal3)print(octal4)
Explanation
- Lines 2-5: We create some variables and initialize them with some octal values.
- Lines 8-11: The values are printed to the console in decimal representations.
