0b1000111000111

0b1000111000111 is a binary integer literal. The 0b prefix signals that the digits that follow are written in base 2, a convention used by several programming languages to express binary numbers directly in source code.

In decimal, this value is 4551. In hexadecimal, it is 0x11C7. The binary representation consists of 13 bits, with the most significant bit set (the 2^12 place contributes 4096 to the total).

Binary literals like this are commonly used in computing for bitwise operations, bit masking, and low‑level data manipulation. They allow programmers to specify exact bit patterns, which can be important when configuring hardware registers, encoding protocol flags, or performing efficient arithmetic on individual bits.

As a numeric constant, 0b1000111000111 is distinct from a string containing the characters '1', '0', and 'B' or from a binary-encoded data sequence; its value participates in arithmetic and bitwise expressions just like any other integer. In languages that support binary literals, such notation aids readability by avoiding ambiguity about the base of the numeral.
