0x10000000000

0x10000000000 is a hexadecimal integer literal that represents the value 2^44. In hex notation, it is a 1 followed by eleven zeros, indicating a power-of-two constant commonly used in computing for addressing, sizing, and bitmasking tasks.

In decimal, 0x10000000000 equals 17,592,186,044,416. It is also equal to 16 tebibytes (TiB), since 2^40 bytes constitute 1 TiB, and 2^44 bytes amount to 16 TiB. This makes the value a convenient reference point for large memory sizes or data structures that align to 44-bit boundaries.

Context and usage vary by domain. As a power-of-two boundary, 0x10000000000 can denote a memory addressing limit, a size threshold for buffers, or a symbolic constant in low-level code. It is not a standard unit like megabyte or gigabyte, but it frequently appears in documentation and examples to illustrate large, aligned sizes in binary terms.

In programming, 0x10000000000 is typically written as a 64-bit literal to ensure proper storage on languages that distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit integers. Languages supporting unsigned 64-bit types can represent it directly, as 0x10000000000 fits within 64 bits.
