What output did you get ? What did you not understand about the output ?

Note that if you use an integer literal starting with a zero, the number is treated as being octal instead of decimal. Is that what's confusing you ?

Do you know what "the number is treated as being octal" means?

It is simple, if you convert octal value '010' to decimal then that is equivalent to 8 and that's why you are getting 8 as an output.

you have used "i=010" in your code which assigns the value 8 to the variable i,your query is how the value 8 is assigned to i.
this is how it will be converted from octal to decimal (1*8^1+0*8^0).
