Can I use a binary literal in C or C++?

Question

I need to work with a binary number.

I tried writing:

const x = 00010000;

But it didn\'t work.

I know that I can use an hex

You can also use inline assembly like this:

int i;

__asm {
    mov eax, 00000000000000000000000000000000b
    mov i,   eax
}

std::cout << i;

Okay, it might be somewhat overkill, but it works.
