0b1000101001000

0b1000101001000 is a binary numeral denoted with the prefix 0b, a convention used in many programming languages to indicate base-2 literals. The sequence of bits represented is 1000101001000, describing a specific bit pattern.

As an unsigned value, this 13-bit pattern equals 4424 in decimal and 0x1148 in hexadecimal. If padded to 16 bits for conventional hex grouping, the binary would be 0001 0001 0100 1000, which corresponds to the hex value 0x1148.

The bit pattern has ones in the positions 12, 8, 6, and 3 when counting from zero in the least-significant bit direction. This means the value is the sum of 2^12, 2^8, 2^6, and 2^3.

Interpreting the same bit pattern as a signed value depends on the bit width and interpretation. If treated as a 13-bit two's-complement number, the most-significant bit is the sign bit, and the pattern represents -3768 (4424 minus 2^13, which is 8192).

In practical terms, 0b1000101001000 is used as a literal to convey a precise bit pattern in code or documentation. Its significance largely depends on the context, such as masking, flag encoding, or numeric constants within a given type and width.
