In Java, can I define an integer constant in binary format?

Question

Similar to how you can define an integer constant in hexadecimal or octal, can I do it in binary?

I admit this is a really easy (and stupid) question. My google sea

Answer 1

If you want to mess around with lots of binary you could define some constants:

public static final int BIT_0 = 0x00000001;
public static final int BIT_1 = 0x00000002;

etc.

or

public static final int B_00000001 = 0x00000001;
public static final int B_00000010 = 0x00000002;
public static final int B_00000100 = 0x00000004;
