:::: It still doesn't make much sense. 0377 may be octal in C++, but that's not native. There's no type in any language I know of that's tied to a specific base in the sense you seem to be implying. Natively, things are either stored as binary for the machine's benefit, or decimal for the human's. Can you give an example of anything else? [[User:MagiMaster|MagiMaster]] 23:48, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
