Binary Integer Literals
A new syntax for integer literals has been added, it is now possible to do the following:
val bitmask = 0b0010_0000 // equivalent to 32, 0x20
Binary integer literals behave similarly to hex integer literals (0x...
), for example:
- Both
0b...
and0B...
are allowed 0b
/0B
on its own is disallowed, possible alternatives:0
,0b0
,0B0
- Only
0
and1
are allowed after the b (b
/B
) - Underscores
_
are allowed anywhere between digits, and are ignored:0b__1 == 0b1
Note: This change has been backported to Scala 2.13.13, it is therefore not technically a changed feature
