0o6200

0o6200 refers to a numerical value represented in octal (base-8) notation. The '0o' prefix is a common convention to denote an octal literal in programming languages like Python. The digits '6200' follow this prefix.

When interpreted in decimal (base-10), the octal number 0o6200 is equivalent to (6 * 8^3) + (2 * 8^2) + (0 * 8^1) + (0 * 8^0). This calculation results in (6 * 512) + (2 * 64) + (0 * 8) + (0 * 1), which equals 3072 + 128 + 0 + 0, totaling 3200 in decimal.

Octal notation was historically used in computing due to its close relationship with binary (base-2). Each octal digit can be represented by exactly three binary digits. For example, the octal digit '6' is '110' in binary, '2' is '010', and '0' is '000'. Thus, 0o6200 in binary is 110010000000. This mapping made it convenient for representing file permissions and certain hardware configurations in older systems. While less common in modern programming for general number representation, octal literals still appear in specific contexts.
