0x162

0x162 is a hexadecimal literal commonly seen in programming and computing. The prefix 0x signals that the following digits are base-16. The digits 1, 6, and 2 compose the value, so 0x162 equals the decimal number 354. In other bases, it converts to binary as 101100010 and to octal as 542.

In many programming languages, hexadecimal literals like 0x162 are used to express constants, bit masks, memory addresses, or color values in combination with additional digits. As a numeric value, 354 can participate in arithmetic, indexing, and bitwise operations just like any other integer constant.

In Unicode, the numeric value 354 corresponds to the code point U+0162, which is the Latin capital letter T with cedilla (Ţ). This connection means that the same underlying number can represent a character in a character encoding system when mapped to a code point, although the literal 0x162 itself is simply a number and not a character by itself.

Factoring 354 yields 2 × 3 × 59, illustrating its simple prime decomposition. While 0x162 may appear in various technical contexts, its interpretation always hinges on the base-16 representation and the surrounding application, whether for numeric computation, encoding mappings, or low-level data handling.
