This is because numeric constants beginning with a 0 are interpreted as octals numbers ( base 8 ) which when converted to decimal (base 10) (via the format specifier "%d") yields 8 as answer

Yogeshwaran you can't do that directly in C, you have to write your own function to do perform conversion. Here is an example ( I used bitwise operations here but you can also go for conventional method ) https://code.sololearn.com/cynQpl8R7b1q/?ref=app
