0x10A6

0x10A6 is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly used in computing to denote a specific integer value. The 0x prefix is standard in many programming languages to indicate that the digits that follow are in base 16 rather than decimal.

Numerically, 0x10A6 equals 4262 in decimal. Its binary representation is 0001 0000 1010 0110, consisting of four hexadecimal digits: 1, 0, A (10), and 6. In a 16-bit context, the value is typically stored as the two bytes 0x10 and 0xA6 (big-endian), or as 0xA6 and 0x10 (little-endian), depending on the system’s byte order.

In programming, 0x10A6 commonly appears as a constant or as part of bitwise masks and memory addresses. Examples include declaring an integer variable as 0x10A6 in C, C++, or Java, or using 0x10A6 in Python or JavaScript to perform arithmetic or bitwise operations. The interpretation of 0x10A6 as an address depends on context; in low-level programming it may refer to a location within a 16-bit address space, whereas in higher-level software it may simply be a constant value.

Notes: while 0x prefixes are used on some blockchain ecosystems to denote hexadecimal addresses, 0x10A6 by itself is not a complete address in most networks and lacks the length and format required by typical address schemes.
