0x000021F7

0x000021F7 is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing to represent a 32-bit unsiged integer value. When interpreted as a decimal quantity, it equals 8695. Beyond simple numbers, such a value often appears as an identifier, offset, or memory address in debugging, firmware logs, and binary data representations.

In binary and memory terms, 0x000021F7 corresponds to the 32-bit pattern 00000000 00000000 00100001 11110111. In big-endian form the bytes are 00 00 21 F7, while in little-endian form they would be stored as F7 21 00 00. The exact interpretation depends on context: as a numeric constant, it is simply 8695; as an address or offset, it would point to a location within a program’s or system’s address space.

Common uses of such hexadecimal values include:

- Representing memory addresses or offsets in disassembly and memory dumps.

- Serving as numeric constants in source code, often chosen to align with bit patterns or for readability in hex.

- Appearing in logs or debugging output as a tag, identifier, or part of a larger data structure.

Notes on context and interpretation are essential. Without accompanying information about the file format, programming language, or hardware architecture, 0x000021F7 does not carry a universal meaning beyond being a 32-bit hexadecimal value. It may denote a low-memory address, a small offset, or a data value, depending on how and where it is used.
