0x0F0F0F00

0x0F0F0F00 is a 32-bit hexadecimal literal commonly encountered in software and hardware development. It consists of four bytes: 0x0F, 0x0F, 0x0F, and 0x00, and represents the unsigned integer value 252,645,120.

In binary, the pattern is 00001111 00001111 00001111 00000000. The high three bytes are 0x0F and the lowest byte is 0x00, creating a repeating nibble pattern across the value. Endianness affects how this value is stored in memory: in little-endian systems it would be written as 00 0F 0F 0F.

Common interpretations of 0x0F0F0F00 depend on context. As a 32-bit bitmask, it can function as a mask that targets or clears certain nibble-wide fields in a data word, depending on how the data is organized. As a color value, interpretation depends on the specific color format used by the graphics system. In a typical 0xRRGGBBAA layout, it would encode red=0x0F, green=0x0F, blue=0x0F, alpha=0x00. In a 0xAARRGGBB arrangement, it would yield alpha=0x0F, red=0x0F, green=0x0F, blue=0x00. The exact meaning thus varies with the data format.

Overall, 0x0F0F0F00 is not tied to a single standard meaning; it is mainly a representative 32-bit pattern used in examples, bitwise operations, or as a test value in low-level programming.
