0b1100110000101

0b1100110000101 is a binary literal used in several programming languages to denote a base-2 integer. The 0b prefix signals that the digits following it are to be interpreted as binary rather than decimal or hexadecimal. The string 1100110000101 comprises 13 bits, making this a 13-bit binary value.

As an unsigned integer, this value equals 6533 in decimal and 0x1985 in hexadecimal. The bit pattern has ones at the 12th, 11th, 8th, 7th, 2nd, and 0th positions (counting from 0 for the least significant bit), giving a Hamming weight of 6. Because it is not aligned to a full byte, its representation is most naturally considered in terms of these 13 bits rather than as a standard 8-, 16-, or 32-bit word.

If interpreted as a 13-bit signed value in two's complement form, the most significant bit is 1, so the number corresponds to -1659. In that interpretation, the range of representable values would be -4096 to 4095.

Common uses for such a binary literal include configuring bitmasks, flags, or bitfield definitions in low-level programming where exact bit-widths matter. The 0b prefix itself is widely supported in modern languages (for example, Python and recent C++ standards) but is not universal across all programming environments.
