0b110111110011

0b110111110011 is a binary literal using the 0b prefix to denote base-2 notation. The binary sequence is 110111110011, a 12-bit pattern with the most significant bit on the left. This form is commonly used in programming and scripting to express exact bit patterns, masks, or flags.

In decimal, this value equals 3571. In hexadecimal, it corresponds to 0xDF3. The number 3571 is prime, meaning it has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. As a 12-bit value, it lies in the range from 2^11 to 2^12−1, putting it in the upper portion of the 12-bit unsigned integer space.

As a literal, 0b110111110011 is often chosen when a specific bit pattern is required, such as configuring hardware registers, setting bitwise masks, or representing encoded data. The 0b prefix helps programmers read and verify the binary pattern directly, without performing decimal-to-binary conversions.

Language and usage notes: the 0b prefix is supported in Python (since version 3), JavaScript (since ES2015), and many C-family languages with compiler support (such as C++14 and later). Availability may vary by language and compiler, but the convention remains a convenient way to specify binary values in source code.
