Java continues the C-sytle tradition of octal, hex, and decimal specification
of integers. C and java both lack the ability to specify integer values in
binary. Some notation like in a form like the hexidecimal specification would
suffice "0b111000". At present, binary data has to be converted to hex or
octal or decimal which can lead to bugs.
