0o502

0o502 refers to a number represented in octal format. The prefix "0o" is a common convention used in some programming languages, such as Python, to explicitly denote an octal literal. In this case, the number 502 is interpreted as a base-8 number. To convert this octal number to its decimal (base-10) equivalent, we multiply each digit by the corresponding power of 8 and sum the results. The rightmost digit (2) is multiplied by 8^0 (which is 1), the next digit to the left (0) is multiplied by 8^1 (which is 8), and the leftmost digit (5) is multiplied by 8^2 (which is 64). Therefore, the decimal value of 0o502 is (5 * 64) + (0 * 8) + (2 * 1), which equals 320 + 0 + 2, resulting in 322 in decimal. Octal representation is sometimes used in computing, particularly in older systems or for specific purposes like file permissions in Unix-like operating systems, where each octal digit can represent a set of three bits.
