octal

I'm trying to create an array which will hold the hours in a day so I can loop through it for a clock.

I have:

int hourArray[24] = {12, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 01, 02,
                     03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11};

I am getting the error on the following numbers in order 08, 09, 08, 09.

It tells me:

Error: invalid octal digit

I've never run into this before and I'm wondering if there is any way around it?
