0b1011110010

0b1011110010 is a binary literal used in programming to denote an integer value written in base 2. The prefix 0b indicates that the following digits should be read as binary. The sequence 1011110010 is 10 bits long.

As an unsigned integer, this binary pattern equals 754 in decimal and 0x2F2 in hexadecimal. Because it is 10 bits long, storing or transmitting this value typically requires more than a single 8-bit byte, often occupying two bytes in memory depending on the system’s architecture and data type.

If interpreted as a signed value in a 10-bit two's complement representation, the leading bit (the most significant bit) indicates a negative number. In that interpretation, 1011110010 represents -270.

In practical terms, binary literals like 0b1011110010 are commonly used for bit masking, flag fields, and low-level bitwise operations where direct control over individual bits is required. They are supported in various programming languages with the 0b prefix, including Python, JavaScript, and Rust, among others, enabling programmers to express binary data directly in source code.

Related concepts include the binary numeral system, hexadecimal and decimal representations, two's complement for signed integers, and bitwise operations such as AND, OR, XOR, and shifting.
