0o7446

0o7446 is an octal numeral, written with the prefix 0o to indicate base-8 notation. In decimal, the value is 3878, and in hexadecimal it corresponds to 0xF26. The digits are interpreted as 7, 4, 4, 6, with the place values 8^3, 8^2, 8^1, and 8^0.

As an octal literal, 0o7446 commonly appears in computing contexts that use octal representations for permissions or low-level settings. The leading digit 7 combines the three special flags used in Unix-like file permissions (setuid, setgid, and the sticky bit). The subsequent digits 4, 4, and 6 describe the owner, group, and other permissions: 4 equals read-only, and 6 equals read plus write. Thus, interpreted as a file mode, 0o7446 would convey read access for the owner and group, and read plus write access for others, with all three special bits set. In practice, the exact textual permission string can vary depending on the system and whether execute bits are also set, since some representations show S or T in place of certain x bits when special flags are involved.

In programming, the 0o prefix is used in several languages (for example Python, JavaScript in ES6, Ruby) to denote octal numeric literals. This makes 0o7446 a valid integer constant in those languages, distinct from its decimal or hexadecimal equivalents.
