0b1011011110001

0b1011011110001 is a binary literal commonly used in programming to represent an integer in base-2. The prefix 0b signals binary notation in many languages, such as Python, Rust, and several others, though not all languages support this syntax.

In decimal form, the value of 0b1011011110001 is 5873. Its hexadecimal representation is 0x16F1. The binary sequence consists of 13 bits; when grouped into four-bit chunks with leading zeros for readability, it corresponds to 0001 0110 1111 0001, which matches the hex value 0x16F1.

If interpreted as an unsigned 13-bit integer, the value remains 5873. If interpreted as a signed 13-bit two's-complement value, the most significant bit is 1, and the number represents -2319 (calculated as 5873 minus 2^13, i.e., 5873 - 8192).

Common uses for such a literal include serving as a constant in algorithms, acting as a bitmask to enable or test specific bits, or illustrating binary-to-decimal conversion. The exact meaning typically depends on the surrounding code or the problem context; without additional context, it is treated as a basic integer value.

Related concepts include the binary numeral system, hexadecimal notation, and two's-complement representation in fixed-width integers.
