0x0FF

0x0FF is a hexadecimal numeral literal used in many programming languages to denote the numeric value 255. The digits after 0x are 0, F, F; in hexadecimal, that equals 0*(16^2) + 15*(16^1) + 15*(16^0) = 255.

The value 255 is the maximum for an 8-bit unsigned byte; hence 0x0FF often appears in contexts involving color channels (RGB), memory addressing, and low-level data representation. It is numerically identical to 0xFF.

In programming, 0x0FF is accepted by languages that use the 0x prefix to indicate hex literals, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python; the literal typically evaluates to 255, and operations on it proceed as with any integer. In 8-bit contexts, bitwise operations can yield 0x0FF or 0xFF as needed, for example in masking operations.

In color-related contexts, each color channel commonly uses values from 0 to 255; 0x0FF represents the highest channel intensity. In other contexts, writers may use 0x0FF interchangeably with 0xFF, though some style guides prefer the shorter form to emphasize the underlying value rather than the specific digit count.
