A numeric literal can consist of decimal digits and an optional decimal point, a leading zero followed by octal digits, or a leading 0x prefix followed by hexadecimal digits. Hexadecimal and octal numbers are automatically converted to decimal form.
The following examples show expressions that use numeric literals:
# The following expressions evaluate to true (1 < 2) (0x10 == "16") (1 == 1.00) # The following expressions evaluate to false (1 > 2) ("0x10" == 16) (1 != 1.00)
