Numeric Constants

The term numeric constant collectively refers to decimal constants, octal constants, binary constants and hex constants.

A sequence of digits is a decimal constant (even if it begins with the digit 0, unlike the C language). The characters 0x followed by a hexadecimal number are also recognized (the digits 0-9 and the letters a-f or the letters A-F form hexadecimal numbers). These are the hex constants. The characters 0b followed by a binary number form a binary constant. A binary number contains only the digits 0 and 1. If it begins with a 0o, it is an octal constant (base 8). Constants may contain _ characters for readability, as in 1_000_000; these are ignored.

All numeric constants in EEL are of type int.
