Program to demonstrate Java 7 new feature - Binary Literals.
Output of the program :
public class BinaryLiterals {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Before Java 7
// In order to use Binary Numbers as Integral types
// Integer class static method parseInt was used.
// This method Parses the string argument as a signed
// integer in the radix specified by the second argument.
int number = Integer.parseInt("1011", 2);
System.out.println("The value of number is : " + number);
// After Java 7
// Binary Literals were introduced which were represented by
// prefix such as 0b and 0B. The prefix denoted that number
// coming after that is binary number
int number2 = 0b1011; // 0b or 0B
System.out.println("The value of number2 is : " + number2);
}
}
