010 (decimal) is 1010 binary, 4 is 0100, or them together you get 1110 which is 14. Now I'm puzzled as well. Perhaps I need a cup of coffee.

10 = is an integer
010 = is an octal (base 8)

So 010 = 1000 in binary
1000
0100
------
1100 = 12

I think this is how it works at least :)

Yes, of course, (hits forehead). Octal. Thanks.

the best way to solve bitwise problem is write eveything in bits and perform the operation and after tat convert it into octal or decimal

Reminds me of my favourite trick question:

What will be the output from

System.out.print(2l+2l);

42

Wrong.

he he

4l

:)

he he - that's right! (and nicely presented) Let's see who else gets it ;-)

tell this "WRONG!" to my JDK. Maybe it ll accept it. I won't.

public class ASD{
	public static void main (String [] args){
		System.out.println(21+21);
	}
}

C:\Users\HCL\Desktop>java ASD
42

What you have in your JDK is NOT what I posted. Try copy/paste from my original post. Trust me.

hahaha, that's tricky, it took me a bit XD
