C++ Integer Constants
Integer constants are constant data elements that have no fractional parts or exponents. They always begin with a digit. You can specify integer constants in decimal, octal, or hexadecimal form. They can specify signed or unsigned types and long or short types.

To specify integer constants using octal or hexadecimal notation, use a prefix that denotes the base. To specify an integer constant of a given integral type, use a suffix that denotes the type.
To specify a decimal constant, begin the specification with a nonzero digit. For example:
int i = 157; // Decimal constant
int j = 0198; // Not a decimal number; erroneous octal constant
int k = 0365; // Leading zero specifies octal constant, not decimal
To specify an octal constant, begin the specification with 0, followed by a sequence of digits in the range 0 through 7. The digits 8 and 9 are errors in specifying an octal constant. For example:
int i = 0377; // Octal constant
int j = 0397; // Error: 9 is not an octal digit
To specify a hexadecimal constant, begin the specification with 0x or 0X (the case of the “x” does not matter), followed by a sequence of digits in the range 0 through 9 and a (or A) through f (or F). Hexadecimal digits a (or A) through f (or F) represent values in the range 10 through 15. For example:
int i = 0x3fff; // Hexadecimal constant
int j = 0X3FFF; // Equal to i
To specify an unsigned type, use either the u or U suffix. To specify a long type, use either the l or L suffix. For example:
unsigned uVal = 328u; // Unsigned value
long lVal = 0x7FFFFFL; // Long value specified
// as hex constant
unsigned long ulVal = 0776745ul; // Unsigned long value
//C++ Operators
// Operators specify an evaluation to be performed on one of the following:
// One operand (unary operator)
// Two operands (binary operator)
// Three operands (ternary operator)
// The C++ language includes all C operators and adds several new operators.
// Table 1.1 lists the operators available in Microsoft C++.
// Operators follow a strict precedence which defines the evaluation order of
//expressions containing these operators. Operators associate with either the
//expression on their left or the expression on their right; this is called
//“associativity.” Operators in the same group have equal precedence and are
//evaluated left to right in an expression unless explicitly forced by a pair of
//parentheses, ( ).
// Table 1.1 shows the precedence and associativity of C++ operators
// (from highest to lowest precedence).
//
//Table 1.1 C++ Operator Precedence and Associativity
// The highest precedence level is at the top of the table.
