0x1598

0x1598 is a hexadecimal numeric literal, a common way to represent numbers in many programming languages. The prefix 0x signals that the digits following it are in base 16 rather than decimal.

In decimal, 0x1598 equals 5528. This conversion comes from summing the place values: 1×4096 + 5×256 + 9×16 + 8 = 5528. The four hexadecimal digits indicate that 0x1598 fits within 16 bits, a common size for registers and low- to mid-range memory addresses in computer systems.

Uses and context

0x1598 is typically encountered as a value in source code, such as an integer constant assigned to a variable, used in bitwise operations, memory addressing, or hardware register configuration. Hex literals like this are convenient for expressing binary patterns and for aligning with how data is organized at the hardware level. In practice, programmers may combine or mask hex values (for example, to isolate certain bits) or compare them against other hex constants.

Notes

There is no widely recognized meaning or standard named specifically "0x1598" beyond it being a hex literal that represents the decimal value 5528. If seen in documentation or code, it is usually just an example of a hexadecimal constant or part of a larger identifier or data value. As with any hex value, its interpretation is context-dependent, determined by the surrounding code and the data model in use.
