0b1001100

0b1001100 is a binary representation of an integer value. In binary, each digit can only be 0 or 1. This value, 0b1001100, can be broken down into its constituent digits to understand its decimal equivalent.

Starting from the right, the digits represent increasing powers of 2, from 2^0 to 2^6. Counting from the right, the digits are 8, 4, 2, 1, 0, 0, and 0. This sequence is derived from 2^0 + 2^2 + 2^4, since the digits in 0b1001100 are the 7th, 5th ( counted from the right, hence 2^6 -2^0 = 6 and 4 from the 5th), and 4th digits from the right.

Sequences like this can be analyzed to derive binary numbers that are a combination of a few high multiples of powers of 2. High multiples of 2, such as 2^6, can be pluralized by adding the same digit (1 in this case) to the same position in the binary sequence. However it may not be as safe as named binary literals.
