0x1790

0x1790 is a hexadecimal number often encountered in computing. The prefix 0x denotes hexadecimal notation, and 0x1790 corresponds to the decimal value 6016.

In binary, 0x1790 is 0001 0111 1001 0000. This 16-bit value has a specific bit pattern that is determined by the context in which it is used; in general, it can represent a combination of bit flags, a memory offset, or an identifier within a data structure.

Common uses and interpretation

In programming, 0x1790 can be used as a numeric constant in languages such as C, C++, Java, and many others. Its meaning depends on context: it may serve as a memory address offset, a bitmask, a flag set, or a configuration value within a particular application or system component. Because the interpretation of bits and fields is application-specific, 0x1790 does not carry a universal meaning by itself beyond its numeric value.

Storage considerations

When stored in memory, endianness affects byte order but not the value itself. On a big-endian system, the two bytes would be stored as 0x17 followed by 0x90. On a little-endian system, the order is 0x90 followed by 0x17. This distinction is relevant for low-level data handling, such as file formats or network protocols.

Overall

0x1790 is a simple 16-bit hexadecimal literal with a decimal value of 6016. Its significance is entirely context-dependent, related to how a particular program and architecture define the meaning of the corresponding bit pattern or numeric offset.
