The answer is obviously .125.

i'm saying either it shouldn't recognize 010.5, or it should interpret both numbers as octal.

Well, yeah, it is FIOC, but still. Numbers with a decimal point are going to be, uh, decimal, right?

Not really, you can have a “decimal point” in any base.

Why is it that 0xDEAD.BEEF is illegal?

$ perl -le'print(010.5 - 010)'

77

There's more than one way™

"decimal point"
You're looking for "radix point."

I uniquoted “decimal point” for a reason. Perhaps if I'd used sic, you'd have understood.

I am thoroughly confused. Care to explain what happened here?

Perl.

But why did it do that!?

Because Leisure Suit Larry Wall is a religious person and therefore appreciates some mystery in his language.

Well, as >>42 suggested, it doesn't recognize 010.5. But being Perl, there are no syntax errors, only fallback interpretations. So instead it gets read as 010 . 5 - 010, which means 8 5 concat 8 -. 85 - 8 = 77.

That is hideously disgusting. I'm glad I have no experience with that awful language.

Because you often try to use a radix point with octal literals?

The cute thing about this example is that it will never happen by accident.
