0x10C5

0x10C5 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing and digital contexts. Interpreted as an unsigned integer, it equals 4,293 in decimal. The prefix 0x signals hexadecimal notation in many programming languages, such as C, C++, JavaScript, and Python.

In software development, 0x10C5 commonly appears as a constant, an offset, or a bitmask. It represents a 16-bit value with a high byte of 0x10 and a low byte of 0xC5. In source code, it is written exactly as 0x10C5 to convey that specific bit pattern. The value may be used in arithmetic, indexing, addressing, or flag operations, depending on the context.

The meaning of 0x10C5 is context-dependent; it may appear as a protocol field, a register address in embedded hardware, or as a sample value in documentation. There is no universal interpretation beyond its numeric value unless a particular specification assigns one. In hardware programming, such literals can define offsets within memory-mapped I/O regions or serve as part of configuration masks.
