This code, when I run it on C++ Borland compiler 5.02
#include<iostream.h>
void main()
{
int x;
cin>>x;
cout << x;
}
When enter 0010 to x, the output is 8? And these for some entries that have zeroes on its left, but not all?

@0x499602D2: His compiler was released in 1997. `iostream` didn't exist until 1998. – Bill Lynch Apr 21 '14 at 19:59

In C++:
- Octal numbers have a leading
0. - Hexadecimal numbers have a leading
0x. - Otherwise, you have a decimal number.
Therefore:
0x10is a hexadecimal number representing 16.010is an octal number representing 8.10is a decimal number representing 10.
