0b100001110011

0b100001110011 is a binary literal, a notation used in several programming languages to represent a number in base 2. The 0b prefix signals that the digits that follow are binary rather than decimal or hexadecimal. This form is common in languages such as Python, JavaScript, and Rust, among others.

The binary sequence consists of 12 bits: 100001110011. In decimal it equals 2163, and in hexadecimal it equals 0x873. The value can be interpreted in different ways depending on context and width. As an unsigned integer with a 12-bit width, it represents 2163. If interpreted as a signed value using two's complement with a 12-bit width, the same bit pattern corresponds to -1933.

Bit-level breakdown shows the contribution of each position: the most significant bit (bit 11) is 1, contributing 2048; bits 6, 5, and 4 contribute 64, 32, and 16 respectively; bit 1 contributes 2 and bit 0 contributes 1; the remaining bits contribute 0. Summing these yields 2163 (or -1933 in 12-bit two's complement when interpreted as signed).

Common uses for such binary literals include representing bitmasks, encoding flags, or other low-level data in software. The fixed-width interpretation is often determined by the surrounding code or data format, whereas the literal itself simply encodes the bit pattern 100001110011.
