0x1499

0x1499 is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing to denote a specific integer value. The 0x prefix is a conventional indicator that the following digits are in base 16. When interpreted as a decimal value, 0x1499 equals 5273, since 1×4096 + 4×256 + 9×16 + 9 equals 5273. In binary this value can be represented as 0001 0100 1001 1001 for four hexadecimal digits, though the exact bit grouping can vary with context.

In programming, 0x1499 is used as a literal for a concrete integer value. Many languages that support hexadecimal literals, including C, C++, Java, C#, JavaScript, and Python, accept 0x1499 and interpret it as the integer 5273. The same notation is often used when specifying bit masks, memory addresses, hardware registers, or other data where a precise bit pattern is important. The interpretation of 0x1499 can depend on how it is used (for example, as an address versus as a numeric flag), and details like endianness can affect how a value is displayed or stored, even though the numeric value remains constant.

Because 0x1499 is simply a numeric literal, it can be extended with additional leading zeros (e.g., 0x01499) without changing its value. Its utility is largely context-dependent, serving as a compact and unambiguous way to express a fixed quantity in code or low-level specifications.
