0x11FF

0x11FF is a hexadecimal integer literal commonly used in computing to denote the unsigned integer value 4607. The prefix 0x is a conventional marker in many programming languages that the following digits are expressed in base 16.

Numerical and bit details: 0x11FF equals 4607 in decimal. In binary, it is 0001 0001 1111 1111. As a 16-bit value, its high byte is 0x11 and its low byte is 0xFF, reflecting its composition as 0x1000 plus 0x01FF. In memory, the byte order can vary by system architecture (endianness): on little-endian machines the bytes may be stored as FF 11, whereas on big-endian machines they appear as 11 FF.

Usage and context: 0x11FF is frequently seen as a literal in languages that support C-style syntax, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. It is used to initialize constants, define bitmasks, or represent specific numeric values in algorithms. Because it lies well within typical 16-bit and 32-bit integer ranges, it is a common example in tutorials and documentation illustrating hexadecimal notation, bitwise operations, or memory layout.

Applications and interpretation: as a bitmask, 0x11FF has bits 12 and 0 through 8 set, which can influence bitwise logic in low-level programming. In some contexts, hexadecimal literals like 0x11FF are also used in debugging outputs, hardware register configurations, or color-data representations when combined with other bytes.
