Is it possible to do something like %10110000 like we use $ff00ff00 for hexadecimal?

i.e.
Data %10110000

Thanks

Yes.

i% = %00001001
;result = 9

I understand why it's 9, but why doesn't Blitz return 1001 instead?

@Buggy:

the %0001001 is converted to an integer representation during the compilers first pass before tokenising all of the commands for translation
