0x186F

0x186F is a hexadecimal numeral, a value written in base-16 and commonly shown with a 0x prefix in programming languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. The digits 1, 8, 6, and F indicate the four 4-bit nibbles that make up this 16-bit value. This type of notation is widely used for low-level data, bitfields, memory addresses, and other contexts where binary precision is important.

Its decimal value is 6255. In binary, 0x186F is 0001 1000 0110 1111. In memory, the two-byte value can be stored differently depending on endianness: little-endian systems typically store the bytes as 0x6F followed by 0x18, while big-endian systems store them as 0x18 followed by 0x6F.

In actual code, 0x186F is a generic literal whose meaning depends on context. It may act as an integer constant, a bitmask used to set or test specific bits, part of a color or other data encoded in a custom format, or an opcode operand on a particular processor architecture. The exact interpretation is determined by the surrounding data structures, programming language, and hardware.

Because 0x186F is simply a constant, there is no separate standard or canonical article specifically for this value. Its significance arises from how it is used within a given software, protocol, or system. See also: hexadecimal notation, hex literals, endianness, binary number system.
