0b110100010001

0b110100010001 is a binary literal that uses the 0b prefix to indicate base-2 notation. The digits 110100010001 form a 12-bit pattern, with the leftmost bit as the most significant.

As an unsigned integer, this binary pattern represents 3345 in decimal and 0xD11 in hexadecimal. The 12-bit width means the value fits within a small word size often used in low-level data representations.

If interpreted as a 12-bit two's complement signed integer, the value is -751. This arises because, for a 12-bit signed interpretation, the binary value is considered negative when the most significant bit is 1, yielding the decimal result of 3345 minus 4096. Whether this signed interpretation applies depends on the chosen bit width and numeric type in a given context.

The 0b prefix is used in several modern programming languages to denote binary literals, including Python, JavaScript (ES6 and later), and others that support binary constants. This enables developers to express bit patterns directly without converting from decimal.

In practice, 0b110100010001 could serve as a bit mask or a small data word in areas such as hardware register configuration, flag encoding, or compact data communication. The pattern sets bits at positions 11, 10, 8, 4, and 0, which may be meaningful in a particular protocol or interface depending on the surrounding application.
