0b1000010100011

0b1000010100011 is a binary numeral written with the 0b prefix, a convention used in several programming languages to denote a binary integer literal. The binary sequence 1000010100011 consists of 13 bits and represents the unsigned integer value 4259 in decimal. In hexadecimal notation, this value is 0x10A3, and in octal notation it is 0o10243.

In contexts where binary literals are supported, 0b1000010100011 is typically parsed as the integer 4259. Such literals are commonly used to express bit patterns, masks, or other low-level data where individual bits have specific meanings. The particular bit pattern here, 1 0000 1010 0011, can be arranged or grouped for readability or aligned with protocol specifications, depending on the application.

Aside from its numeric value, this literal does not imply a standard meaning on its own; its interpretation depends on the surrounding software, data format, or communication protocol in which it is used. It may be employed in examples illustrating bitwise operations, flag combinations, or hardware-oriented code.
