That's an O, not a 0. *;-)

BTW, some conventions use a leading zero to mean hexadecimal (no octal
option).

While the O may still be correct, many of the programming languages I'm
familiar with use 0. *http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/hex/

Yes, but the general case is 'O' or "O'" denoting Octal, 'H' or "H'"
for Hexadecimal, and often 'D' or "D'" for plain-as-the-nose-on-your-
face decimal.

Hex is usually denoted by 0x. *(Sometimes a trailing h is used, but that
seems to be falling out of favor.)

....or "H'"

Binary patterns usually are 0b.

....or "b'". Really, all make the intention clear *except* the leading
'0'.
