0001100110001010

0001100110001010 is a 16-bit binary string commonly used as an example in discussions of digital representation and binary arithmetic. It can be read as eight 4-bit groups: 0001 1001 1000 1010.

Numerically, the value of this 16-bit pattern in unsigned binary is 6538. In hexadecimal, it corresponds to 0x198A. Because the most significant bit is 0, the same pattern represents a non-negative number in signed 16-bit two's complement representation as well, namely +6538.

In memory and data encoding contexts, the same bit pattern can be stored with different byte orders. If interpreted as a 16-bit word in big-endian format, the bytes would be 0x19 followed by 0x8A. In little-endian format, the bytes would be 0x8A followed by 0x19. As an ASCII or UTF-8 sequence, neither 0x19 nor 0x8A corresponds to a printable character, so the pair does not form readable text by itself.

Applications of such a binary constant are typically found in technical demonstrations, test vectors, or low-level programming examples rather than as meaningful data. It serves to illustrate how binary numbers map to decimal and hexadecimal forms and how endianness affects byte storage.
