Re: Does Beanshell Support Numeric Literals with Underscores?

Not only do underscores in numeric literals not work in beanshell, binary literals (literals beginning with "0b") don't work either!

When I had to store constants in binary in beanshell or java, I tended to use Integer.parseInt("01001100", 2)

In general, the syntax beanshell supports is approximately that of java 1.4, with a few allowed variances.

Beanshell hasn't change in nearly a decade; many people believe it was effectively abandoned by its creator.

There were some attempts to revive development in a "Beanshell 2.0" project, but so far as I know that never achieved much adoption.
