Thread: literal Loop

what is literal loop?
I saw this in this URL: Beginner Level


and inside of this topic here's a sample program:

public class Sample {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        int count = 0;
 
        for (int i = 0x0EF; i <= 0647; i++)
 
        {
            count++;
        }
        System.out.println("The loop looped " + count + " times.");
    }
}

question:

1.) i dont know the value of '0x0ef' , whats that supposed to mean?

2.) what is literal loop? is it some kind of LOGIC in making a loop? or its just the title of the topic?

1. The value 0x0ef is a hexadecimal number and you can just use your windows calculator to see what it is or just use the code I posted in another thread.

        System.out.println("From hex: " + Integer.decode("0x0ef"));

2. A literal loop would be a loop that uses the octal or hexadecimal numbers instead of decimal numbers.

Just have a look at the literal definition on the same page you linked to: Definition for the term: Literal
