title: Advantage of using 0x01 instead of 1 for an integer variable?
body: <p>Recently I came across a line like this </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>public final static int DELETION_MASK       = 0x01;</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>why is it not like </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>public final static int DELETION_MASK       = 1;</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is there any advantage in using the first approach other than 0xA and upper limit hexadecimals can be converted with ease?? In this case its just a constant representing 1. </p>
