Why is number 8 equal to 010 ??

[ajoo]

Hi all,

If you try out this simple piece of code below :

var i:Number;

for(i=0;i<20;i++)
{
	if(i === 010){
		trace("yes");
	}else{
		trace("no");
	}
}

you will find that for 010 === 8, yes is echoed, for 011===10 yes is echoed too and I bet there would be more such values too.

Any ideas why this is so ? How to get around this issue ?

Thanks all !
