FAQ Topic - Why does K = parseInt('09') set K to 0?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Method `parseInt` generally needs a second parameter, `radix`,
for the base (from 2 to 36).
If `radix` is omitted, the base is determined by the contents of
the string. Any string beginning with `'0x'` or `'0X'` represents a
hexadecimal number. A string beginning with a leading 0 may be parsed as
octal (as if `raxix` were 8), in ECMA-262 Ed 3 (octal digits are `0-7`).
If string `'09'` is converted to `0`.
To force use of a particular base, use the `radix`
parameter: `parseInt("09", base)`.
