## BigInt Literals

Value literals for the [`BigInt` type](https://github.com/microsoft/qsharp-language/tree/main/Specifications/Language/4_TypeSystem#available-types) are always postfixed with `L` and can be expressed in decimal or hexadecimal representation. Literals expressed in hexadecimal are prefixed with `0x`. There is no prefix for the commonly used decimal representation.
Value literals for the [`BigInt` type](https://github.com/microsoft/qsharp-language/tree/main/Specifications/Language/4_TypeSystem#available-types) are always postfixed with `L` and can be expressed in binary, octal, decimal, or hexadecimal representation. Literals expressed in binary are prefixed with `0b`, with `0o` for octal, and with `0x` for hexadecimal. There is no prefix for the commonly used decimal representation.

| Representation | Value Literal |
| --- | --- |
