 Octal Literals are defined by a zero prefix.

+#### Printing
+
+String.format has the ability to print Decimal, Octal and Hexadecimal integers. However, they don't take on the traditional form that the literals do.
+
+```java
+out.println(String.format("%o", 4358));
+> 10406
+out.println(String.format("%o", 0x5FAE));
+> 57656
+out.println(String.format("%x", 07703));
+> fc3
+out.println(String.format("%4.1f", 28.16));
+> 28.2
+```
+
+Despite their literal counterparts having prefixes of `0` and `0x` or `0X`, Octal and Hexadecimals will not be printed with a prefix. Adding one is as simple as typing the prefix in front, though, so there is nothing stopping you from doing it yourself should it be required.
+
+For bases other than 8, 10 and 16, Java provides `Integer.toString(int i, int radix)` and `Integer.toBinaryString(int i)` for binary representations.

 ### Common Mistakes
 
 Most common mistakes come from not looking at a myriad of things closely.
