int month = 9, day = 7;
int month = 09, day = 07;

are they the same?

Does putting a zero in front mean it is octal instead of decimal number?

[kevin145]

also,

L'a' and L"a"

are those the same?

putting L in front of a character literal turns it into type wchar_t. does it apply to string literals too?

When I did this ;

int j = 9;
	int i = 09;

I got this
1>c:\users\jordan\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\hold\hold\hold.cpp(10): error C2041: illegal digit '9' for base '8'

Yes, it does. Did you try to compile you code? Because it should give you an error on int month = 09:
error: invalid digit "9" in octal constant|
