0x0A24

0x0A24 is a hexadecimal numeric literal frequently encountered in software development and digital systems. The prefix 0x signifies that the digits are in base-16; the value 0x0A24 is equal to decimal 2596.

In most programming languages (for example C, C++, JavaScript, Python), 0x0A24 denotes the integer constant 2596. It can participate in arithmetic, bitwise operations, array indexing, or be used as a memory address or identifier in code or data representations. Its exact interpretation depends on the surrounding context, such as types and endianness.

Binary representation: 0x0A24 corresponds to 0000 1010 0010 0100 in a 16-bit form. The same value stored in memory will have a byte order that depends on the system's endianness (little-endian vs big-endian), but the numeric value remains 2596.

Common uses include defining bit masks, constants in firmware, or as part of a memory map or file header. For example, a constant like 0x0A24 might be used alongside other hex literals such as 0x0F00 or 0x00FF to specify flags or offsets. However, 0x0A24 itself does not denote a widely recognized standard or widely cited identifier; it is primarily an example of hexadecimal notation.
