0000100

0000100 is a seven-character string that can be interpreted in several ways depending on context. When treated as a binary numeral, it represents the decimal value 4, since 0000100 in base 2 equals 4. If read as a decimal string with leading zeros, it corresponds to the number 100. In other common bases, it can represent different values: in octal, it denotes 64; in hexadecimal, it denotes 256. In 7-bit ASCII, the binary value 0000100 corresponds to decimal 4, which is the control character End of Transmission (EOT).

In computing practice, leading zeros are often used to fit fixed-width fields, such as binary data blocks, memory addresses, or protocol identifiers. Some programming languages treat a leading zero as an indicator of octal literals, so a value like 0000100 can be interpreted as octal 100, i.e., decimal 64. Without context, the meaning of 0000100 is ambiguous, as its numeric value depends on the base in which it is interpreted and on how the sequence is used within a given system or protocol.
