(That will probably get me at least three downvotes right there, just for mentioning Ada. In my personal opinion, Ada did it best: 2#10010010#, 8#222#, 16#92#, and 146 all represent the same value. JavaScript is a client-side language, octal seems pretty useless.
But I dont really see why these languages need octal, especially when the more likely use of the notation is to denote a decimal number with a superfluous 0. There is no ambiguity when the format is documented, because the document TELLS you whether you are looking at a decimal number, a hex number, or an octal number.Īlso note: If your I/O system defaults to leading 0 meaning octal, you have to use some other convention on your output to denote hexadecimal values. A few among these is JavaScript, Python (2.7), and Ruby. Each instruction was 15 or 30 bits.Īs for reading and writing values, this is a solved problem, with a well-known industry best practice, at least in the defense industry. The CDC 6600 had a 60-bit word, with each word containing typically 2 to 4 instructions. It helps you refactor your legacy codebase in JavaScript and modernize your web apps. This book presents principles, patterns, anti-patterns, and practices supported by use cases and directions for writing clean JavaScript code. Other machines had instruction sets that didn't map well to hex. Clean coding is an important skill in the portfolio of any developer willing to write reliable and intuitive code.
