For example, ``69`` means sixty nine. +Octal literals do not exist in Solidity and leading zeros are ignored. +For example, ``0100`` means one hundred. + +Decimal literals are formed by a ``.`` with at least one number on +one side. Examples include ``1.``, ``.1`` and ``1.3``. + Number literal expressions retain arbitrary precision until they are converted to a non-literal type (i.e. by using them together with a non-literal expression). This means that computations do not overflow and divisions do not truncate |
