0b101010100110

0b101010100110 is a binary literal used in many programming languages to represent a base-2 number. The prefix 0b indicates that the digits following it should be interpreted as binary. The bit string 101010100110 contains 12 bits.

Value: In unsigned binary interpretation, this equals decimal 2726; hexadecimal representation is 0xAA6 (or 0x0AA6). If stored in a typical 8- or 16-bit type, it would fit within a 16-bit width, with leading zeros if needed.

Pattern and usage: The pattern alternates in places and has a pair of adjacent ones near the least significant end. Such literals are commonly used for bitwise operations, masks, or to initialize binary data in code. It does not correspond to a standard constant with a widely known meaning by itself.

Language support: The 0b prefix is supported in Python 3 and later; in C and C++, support arrived with C++14; Java 7 introduced binary literals; JavaScript supports 0b in modern engines as part of ECMAScript 2015 (ES6). The availability of binary literals varies by language and version, but they are widely used for clarity in low-level and systems programming tasks.
