0x10A9

0x10A9 is a hexadecimal integer literal commonly used in computer programming. The prefix 0x signals that the value is in base 16. In decimal, 0x10A9 equals 4265. In binary, it is 0001000010101001 (16 bits).

Typical uses include representing constants in source code, especially for bit masks, flags, and hardware register values. It appears in languages that support hexadecimal literals such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript. The value can also be used as a small memory address, an identifier in low-level software, or as part of encoded data in certain contexts.

Endianness affects how a 16-bit 0x10A9 value is laid out in memory. On little-endian systems, the bytes would appear as A9 followed by 10; on big-endian systems, the order is 10 followed by A9. This matters when reading or writing binary data at the byte level.

Notes on notation and usage: hexadecimal literals are typically written with the 0x prefix and may be written in uppercase or lowercase, since hex digits are case-insensitive. Leading zeros may be added to indicate fixed width, as in 0x0010A9, in contexts where alignment or bit-width matters. While 0x10A9 itself is just a number, in broader data formats it might be combined with other values or interpreted within a specific encoding scheme.
