What is binary literals in c#?

When we want to deal with the binary values in C#, there is a feature named as Binary Literals. By using this feature, we can store binary values in variables.

C# provides 0b and 0x literals to create binary and hexadecimal value respectively. C# compiler recognizes these literals and treats values accordingly.

Example:

using System;  
namespace BinaryLiterals
{  
    class BinaryLiteralsClass
    {  
        public static void Main()  
        {  
            // Creating binary literals  
            int binaryvariable1 = 0b1000;   
            // Creating hexadecimal literals  
            int binaryvariable2 = 0x00B;  
            Console.WriteLine(binaryvariable1);  
            Console.WriteLine(binaryvariable2);  
        }  
    }  
}

Output:
