0x142B

0x142B is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing. In base-10 (decimal) it equals 5163. The prefix 0x signals hexadecimal notation in many programming languages and tools, distinguishing hex literals from decimal numbers.

In source code, 0x142B often appears as a numeric literal. For example, in C or C++ you might see int a = 0x142B;, in JavaScript const a = 0x142B;, and in Python a = 0x142B. In all cases the value represented by 0x142B is the decimal number 5163. Hex literals like 0x142B are convenient for bitwise operations, hardware interactions, and low-level programming tasks.

Beyond simple literals, hex values such as 0x142B can serve as memory addresses, offsets, or bit fields in debugging outputs, machine code, or data formats. They may also appear in logs, configuration files, or protocol specifications where hexadecimal notation is standard.

Context determines meaning. Without accompanying information, 0x142B is primarily a hex-encoded integer and a reference point for its decimal equivalent. The use of 0x as a prefix is widespread across languages and environments, reflecting a common convention for representing hexadecimal values.
