0b1010111100101

0b1010111100101 is a binary literal used in programming to denote an integer written in base-2. The 0b prefix signals that the following digits are binary rather than decimal or hexadecimal. The sequence contains 13 bits, with the bits at positions 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 2, and 0 set to 1, and all other bits set to 0.

In decimal form, this value equals 5605. In hexadecimal, it is 0x15E5. Because it is a 13-bit value, it resides in the range from 0 to 8191, and its representation can vary in width depending on the language or environment, but the numeric value remains 5605.

Binary literals like this are often used to express bit patterns for masks, flags, or compact data representations in software and hardware contexts. They enable precise control over individual bits when configuring options, manipulating binary data, or describing hardware registers.

Languages that support binary literals typically interpret 0b1010111100101 as an integer constant at compile time or runtime. The fundamental interpretation is the same across contexts: it represents the numeric value 5605, with the pattern of ones and zeros conveying the specific bit configuration intended by the programmer.
