0x00000064

0x00000064 is a hexadecimal value that represents the decimal number 100. In computing, hexadecimal (or hex) is a base-16 number system that is commonly used in computer science and digital electronics because it provides a more human-friendly representation of binary-coded values. Each digit in a hexadecimal number can represent four binary digits (bits), making it a convenient shorthand for binary data.

The value 0x00000064 is often encountered in programming and debugging contexts. For instance, it may appear in memory addresses, error codes, or as part of a data structure. In the context of Windows operating systems, 0x00000064 is associated with the STATUS_FLOAT_DENORMAL_OPERAND error code, which indicates that a floating-point operation was attempted on a denormalized operand. This error code is part of the NTSTATUS error code system used by Windows to report the outcome of system calls and other operations.

Understanding hexadecimal values is crucial for developers and system administrators who work with low-level programming, debugging, and system diagnostics. The ability to convert between hexadecimal and decimal representations is a fundamental skill in these fields.
