Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Confusing octal with decimal

Solution: Octal only uses digits 0-7. "101" in octal = 65 in decimal. Remember you're working in base 8.

⚠️

Wrong escape sequence format

Solution: In code, octal escapes are \101 (C) or \o{101} (some languages). Check your language's syntax.

⚠️

Expecting leading zeros

Solution: Some tools output 101, others 0101. Check if your use case requires fixed-width octal (e.g., 3 digits).
