Integer Constants

The following table lists the notations for integer constants. Use the preferred notation for new code. The alternate notations are for porting existing code.

Table 1. Preferred Integer Constant Notation
Type	Preferred Notation	Alternate Notation
Hexadecimal	`0x` followed by a string of hexadecimal digits, such as 0xdeadbeef.	`$` followed by string of hexadecimal digits, such as `$deadbeef`. (For certain processors, this is the preferred notation.)
Hexadecimal		`0` followed by a string of hexadecimal digits, ending with h, such as `0deadbeefh`.
Decimal	String of decimal digits, such as `12345678.`	String of decimal digits followed by d, such as `12345678d`.
Binary	`%` followed by a string of binary digits, such as `%01010001`.	`0b` followed by a sting of binary digits, such as `0b01010001`.
Binary		String of binary digits followed by `b`, such as `01010001b`.

Note: The assembler uses 32-bit signed arithmetic to store and manipulate an integer constants.
