0x12C4

0x12C4 is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly used in computing. The prefix 0x indicates base-16, so its value is 4804 in decimal. In binary it is 0001 0010 1100 0100, and it can be represented as two bytes: 0x12 and 0xC4 in big-endian form (high byte first), or as 0xC4 followed by 0x12 in little-endian memory layouts.

In practice, 0x12C4 may be used as a constant in source code to represent a number, a memory address, a bit mask, or an offset, depending on the surrounding context. It is a standard hex literal supported by many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, where it denotes the integer value 4804.

The interpretation of 0x12C4 can vary with data encoding schemes. For example, as a 16-bit value in a 16-bit color format such as RGB565, it would encode a specific color, with the red, green, and blue components extracted according to the scheme’s bit layout. Endianness also affects how 0x12C4 appears in memory: in big-endian systems the bytes appear as 12 C4, while in little-endian systems they appear as C4 12.

Conversion and quick checks are straightforward: decimal 4804, hex 0x12C4, binary 0001 0010 1100 0100. Without a surrounding context, 0x12C4 is ambiguous and may denote different meanings in different data formats or programs.
