Invalid Token when using Octal numbers
Question:
I’m a beginner in python and I’m trying to use a octal number in my script, but when I try it, it returns me that error:
>>> a = 010
SyntaxError: invalid token (<pyshell#0>, line 1)
>>> 01
SyntaxError: invalid token (<pyshell#1>, line 1)
There’s something wrong with my code? I’m using Python3 (and reading a python 2.2 book)
Answers:
Try 0o10, may be because of python 3, or pyshell itself.
PEP says,
octal literals must now be specified
with a leading “0o” or “0O” instead of
“0”;
