0b1110010

0b1110010 is a binary literal representing a specific numerical value. In the binary numeral system, numbers are expressed using only two digits: 0 and 1. The prefix "0b" is a common convention used in many programming languages to indicate that the following sequence of digits is a binary number.

The binary number 1110010 can be converted to its decimal (base-10) equivalent by considering the place value of each digit. Starting from the rightmost digit, the place values are powers of 2, increasing from 2^0 upwards. For 1110010, this calculation is as follows:

(1 * 2^6) + (1 * 2^5) + (1 * 2^4) + (0 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (0 * 2^0)

This expands to:

(1 * 64) + (1 * 32) + (1 * 16) + (0 * 8) + (0 * 4) + (1 * 2) + (0 * 1)

Summing these values results in:

64 + 32 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 114

Therefore, 0b1110010 is equivalent to the decimal number 114. This binary representation is fundamental in computer science and digital electronics, where data is stored and processed in binary form. The value 114 could represent various pieces of information depending on the context, such as a character in an encoding system (like ASCII, where 114 corresponds to the character 'r'), a pixel color component, or a numerical instruction.
