I know this isnt that big of a problem,
but i cannot think of one reason why they would not allow numbers
preceded with a 0 to have a number
higher then a 7 in them...
And it seems very inconsistant to me...
Is there a reason for this?
I *love* questions I can answer! Answer: because that's how you tell
Python you're entering an octal number. (Parallel to 0x for
hexadecimals.) So beware of 010, which isn't the number of fingers you
presumably have, unless you don't count the thumbs.
