regarding leading zero in integer value

Question

I have below code

int a = 01111;
System.out.println(\"output1 = \" + a);
System.out.println(\"output2 = \" + Integer.toOctalString(1111));

Answer 1

System.out.println("output2 = " +Integer.toOctalString(1111));

Is converting the decimal string 1111 to an octal string: 2127.

The decimal value of the octal 1111, is 585 - as expected, the result is expected, you don't get the same values because the two statements do different things.

A correct test will be:

System.out.println("output2 = " +Integer.toOctalString(a));

Which will give you, as expected, 1111
