0o14000

0o14000 is an octal numeric literal commonly used in programming languages that support the 0o prefix to indicate base 8. The digits in this literal are 1, 4, 0, 0, 0, which corresponds to the decimal value 6144. In hexadecimal, 6144 is 0x1800.

In Python 3, 0o14000 is a valid way to write the integer that equals 6144. For example, x = 0o14000 results in x having the value 6144, and print(x) would display 6144. The 0o prefix explicitly marks the number as octal; this syntax is not valid in Python 2, which used a different style for octal literals (such as 014000, which is deprecated).

Octal notation is widely encountered in Unix and Unix-like systems because file permissions and some system bitmasks are represented in octal. For instance, common permission strings like 0644 or 0755 are octal values that translate to specific read, write, and execute permissions. Larger, multi-digit octal values can encode additional bitfields, such as file type bits in certain contexts. However, 0o14000 by itself is just a standalone octal number and is not typically meaningful as a file mode without being combined with other bits or interpreted within a particular bitfield.

Related concepts include the larger Unix convention of using octal constants for bitfields (for example, 0o140000 in octal corresponds to a specific S_IFSOCK bitmask in some systems). This illustrates how octal literals like 0o14000 fit into broader practices of representing binary flags in human-readable form.
