Number literals
Combined from primary sources listed below.

See primary documentation in context for Number literals

Number literals are generally specified in base ten (which can be specified literally, if needed, via the prefix 0d), unless a prefix like 0x (hexadecimal, base 16), 0o (octal, base 8) or 0b (binary, base 2) or an explicit base in adverbial notation like :16<A0> specifies it otherwise. Unlike other programming languages, leading zeros do not indicate base 8; instead a compile-time warning is issued.

In all literal formats, you can use underscores to group digits, although they don't carry any semantic information; the following literals all evaluate to the same number:

1000000
1_000_000
10_00000
100_00_00
