title: Is it possible to store 0001 in int?
body: <p>The product (25 years old product) I am working on is very large and complicated. So let me explain what I want in simple scenario:</p>
  
  <p>I've declared an <code>int</code> variable. Say, <code>int var = 0001;</code></p>
  
  <p>When we try to retrieve the value of <code>var</code>, we'll get <code>1</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Now, my requirement is, is it possible to return <code>0001</code>, without changing the signature or return type of the method?</p>
