 integers can include digits (0-9) and the letters a-f and A-F. Octal integers can include only the digits 0-7.<P>
Integer literals are of type int unless they are larger than 32-bits, in which case they are of type long (see <A HREF="javaspec_4.html#3">Integer Types</A>). A literal can be forced to be long by appending an L or l to its value.<P>
The following are all legal integer literals:<P>
