JavaScript interprets numeric constants as hexadecimal if they are preceded by 0x.
Example
var x = 0xFF; // x will be 255
Never write a number with a leading zero (like 07).
Some JavaScript versions interpret numbers as octal if they are written with a leading zero.
By default, JavaScript displays numbers as base 10 decimals.
But you can use the toString() method to output numbers from base 2 to base 36.
Hexadecimal is base 16. Decimal is base 10. Octal is base 8. Binary is base 2.
Example
var myNumber = 32;
myNumber.toString(10); // returns 32
myNumber.toString(32); // returns 10
myNumber.toString(16); // returns 20
myNumber.toString(8); // returns 40
myNumber.toString(2); // returns 100000
myNumber.toString(10); // returns 32
myNumber.toString(32); // returns 10
myNumber.toString(16); // returns 20
myNumber.toString(8); // returns 40
myNumber.toString(2); // returns 100000
