0b1001101100010

0b1001101100010 is a binary literal that uses the prefix 0b to indicate base-2 notation. In languages that support binary literals, the digits that follow represent the value in binary form.

Interpreted as an unsigned binary number, 0b1001101100010 equals 4962 in decimal and 0x1362 in hexadecimal. The literal consists of 13 bits, a length that is not tied to a standard word size but reflects the exact digit count of the representation.

In practical usage, such a binary literal can encode a bit pattern for flags, masks, or small integers within code. When stored in a computer word, the meaning of the value depends on the word width and whether the context treats it as unsigned or signed; with a 13-bit interpretation, sign handling would be language- or type-dependent.

The 0b prefix is widely supported in modern programming languages to express binary values directly. For example, Python uses 0b to denote binary integers; JavaScript (ES6) introduced binary literals with 0b; and C++14 added the same syntax for binary literals. Using binary literals facilitates reading and writing bit-level data, debugging bitmasks, and performing bitwise operations without manual base conversions.
