C Output-Doubt

Question

why it is showing  56 as output????

Comments

its an ASCII value of 8.

char a='\8'; -> this is character constant and it assign a ASCII value of last character(i.e 8) present within ' ' to variable a

---

but for '\07'  , it was showing  output = 7 ?

how??

---

i also don't know reason behind it, i will try to find.

I read somewhere that using " \ "  it will take values in Octal (if they are in between 0-7)

otherwise the ASCII values (as u mentioned above)

But I'm not satisfied with it. Can u confirm it?
