0b1110000000000

0b1110000000000 is a binary numeral literal used in many programming languages to denote a base-2 value. The 0b prefix indicates that the following digits are interpreted as binary.

The literal consists of thirteen bits: three consecutive ones followed by ten zeros. Its decimal value is 2^12 + 2^11 + 2^10 = 7168, and its hexadecimal representation is 0x1C00. When represented as a 16-bit value, it appears as 0001 1100 0000 0000, highlighting that the set bits are in positions 12, 11, and 10 (counting from zero).

The pattern can also be described as 7 × 2^10, since 7168 equals 7 times 1024. This makes it a specific bit-pattern with the three most-significant bits set and all lower bits cleared.

In code, 0b1110000000000 is used as an integer literal and can serve as a flag or bitmask in bitwise operations, depending on the language and the size of the integer type. The exact behavior may vary with signedness, overflow rules, and how the language handles binary literals.
