Binary Blunders 8: The Octal Offense

Welcome to the most epic fail of the digital age: Binary Blunders 8, where the mighty octal (256) has become the laughing stock of the binary world.

It all started with a simple typo, a misplaced semicolon, and a dash of hubris. Now, we're stuck with an octal that refuses to behave.

Caution: Binary Blunders Ahead!

Warning: the following code may cause your computer to spontaneously combust:


            int octal = 256;
            if (octal > 8) {
                printf("Octal is big");
            } else {
                printf("Octal is small");
            }

This code is so bad, it's good.
