0x175A

0x175A is a hexadecimal numeral used in computing to represent the integer value 5978 in decimal. The prefix 0x indicates that the digits that follow are written in base-16, a common notation in programming to express numeric constants and addresses concisely.

In programming languages such as C, C++, or JavaScript, 0x175A can appear as a numeric literal. For example, unsigned int x = 0x175A; sets x to 5978. In Python, the equivalent decimal value can be obtained by int('175A', 16) or by evaluating 0x175A directly. The exact meaning of the value is context dependent and can range from a numeric constant to a memory offset or a bitmask within a given program or data format.

0x175A is not, by itself, a widely recognized standard identifier for a specific protocol, file format, or public dataset. Its interpretation depends on the surrounding software, architecture, and data structures in which it appears.

If interpreted as part of a color value in 24-bit RGB notation, and written with leading zeros to fit the RRGGBB format, 0x00175A corresponds to RGB components (0, 23, 90). In this usage, it would represent a dark blue-green shade. However, many systems require an explicit 24- or 32-bit color specification, and 0x175A alone does not universally denote a color.
