    \$\begingroup\$ The esolang answers, while valid, are kinda boring. Glad to see one that isn't! \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 28, 2015 at 14:50

    \$\begingroup\$ perl say 1e9 is slightly shorter, if you want to improve your golf score. (Though it's nowhere near the smaller integer for which this approach works...) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 3, 2016 at 7:23
  • \$\begingroup\$ @derobert True. 1e1 would satisfy the problem statement and give a score of 10 (the lower, the better) (Assuming a char is 1 byte) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 5, 2016 at 13:18
  • \$\begingroup\$ @dberm22 10 (2 characters) is not longer than 1e1 (3 characters) \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 5, 2016 at 14:05
  • \$\begingroup\$ @SuperJedi224 Ahh, I read it as the magnitude of the printed number has to be larger than the bytecount, not the number of digits in the printed number. Thanks for the clarification. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 5, 2016 at 15:36
