A literal number begins with a leading zero and has no decimal point, which indicates that it is an octal (base 8) literal. However, it also contains the digits 8 or 9, which are not octal. The compiler will interpret the number as a decimal (base 10) number.

To correct this error

If the literal should be a decimal literal, remove the leading zero.
If the literal should be an octal literal, make sure it uses only the digits zero through seven.
