little ptoblem with chars

I wrote this simple code, to print the char wich it's binary value is assigned in the "bits" integer:

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int bits=01001101;
    putchar(bits);
    getchar();
}

---

according to the ascii table ,the binary value of 'M' is 01001101 but when i run the program it outputs 'A'

when i change "bits" to 01010111 wich is the ascii of 'W' the program out puts 'I'
etc'..
why is that ? what did i do wrong ?

i dont know how to program computer biut try

int bits=01001101b;

and if that dont work convert binaryy to decimal and use that instead. (binary value is same as decimal value)

Numbers with leading zeros are interpreted as octal (base 8), not decimal, not binary.

There is no standard way to write a binary number, though some embedded compilers do support the b suffix as ggs has shown.
