invalid digit "x" in octal constant

[MaffParticipant]

Hi all,

Being the tidy sort, I occasionally pad my input params out so all the params line up, but the in the below code:

Monkey

Class Wibble Field i:Int Field j:Int Method New( p:Int, q:Int) i = p j = q End Method End Class Function Main() New Wibble(1234,1) New Wibble( 8,1) New Wibble(0008,1) End Function

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

Class Wibble Field i:Int Field j:Int Method New( p:Int, q:Int) i = p j = q End Method End Class     Function Main() New Wibble(1234,1) New Wibble(   8,1) New Wibble(0008,1) End Function

New Wibble(0008,1)

Gives an error:

Monkey

I can happily pad with spaces, but is this expected behavior?

Cheers,

Definitely a bug. Post it on GitHub. Thats the proper way to report bugs.

Not a bug. Using a leading 0 is how you type numbers in octal with Monkey2, just like typing a leading $ for hexadecimal. I guess you will need to use leading spaces instead

Monkey

Function Main() Local a:Int = 31 Local b:Int = $1F 'hex for 31 Local c:Int = 037 'oct for 31 Print a + " " + b + " " + c End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Function Main() Local a:Int = 31 Local b:Int = $1F 'hex for 31 Local c:Int = 037 'oct for 31     Print a + " " + b + " " + c End

Is there a way to type binaries literals with such kind of leading symbol?

[JesseParticipant]

Really! That’s kind of weak. It should have a symbol or something that’s different than just 0s.

[MaffParticipant]

Interesting, thanks Thought it worth an ask before crying foul.

[Mark SiblyKeymaster]

Definitely a bug!

This is a horrendous C ‘feature’ that I forgot about that needs to be worked around.

Monkey2 does not (officially) support octal notation.

[JesseParticipant]

Hahaha! That’s what I thought.

I’ve dealt with Hex via StringToLong() and Utf with “hello”[1]
Never had to deal with Octals before; I think. This would be good I presume.

[Mark SiblyKeymaster]

Use StringToULong for octals too, eg: Print StringToULong( “100”,8 ) prints 64.
