Jdk7 - Binary Literals with prefix "0b"

In JDK 7, you can express literal values in binary with prefix '0b' (or '0B') for integral types (byte, short, int and long), similar to C/C++ language. Before JDK 7, you can only use octal values (with prefix '0') or hexadecimal values (with prefix '0x' or '0X').


int mask = 0b01010000101;
or even better
int binary = 0B0101_0000_1010_0010_1101_0000_1010_0010;
