0x0A52

0x0A52 is a hexadecimal literal used in programming to denote the 16-bit value 0x0A52, equal to decimal 2642. The 0x prefix signals hexadecimal notation in languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript.

Numerically, 0x0A52 = 2642. In binary, that's 0000 1010 0101 0010 (grouped as 4-bit nibbles). The value fits within 16 bits and can be represented in memory using two bytes.

In software, such a literal may appear as a constant in source code, as a memory address offset, as part of a bitmask, or as a color component in certain graphics APIs. However, 0x0A52 has no intrinsic meaning beyond its numeric value; its semantics depend entirely on the surrounding program, data format, or protocol.

Endianness matters when the value is stored in memory. In little-endian form, the bytes are 0x52 followed by 0x0A; in big-endian form, 0x0A followed by 0x52. This affects how the value is interpreted when read from memory or serialized to a binary stream.
