0x18B8

0x18B8 is a hexadecimal numeral written with the 0x prefix, a common convention in programming to denote base-16 numbers. Its value in decimal is 6328. The digits used are 0–9 and A–F, with the B in this value representing 11.

In general, 0x18B8 does not have a universal meaning by itself; its significance depends on the context in which it appears. It can be used as a numeric literal in source code, a memory address in a dump or debugger, a bit mask or flag value, or any other data field where a 16-bit hexadecimal value is convenient. Because hexadecimal representations are compact and align well with binary data, 0x18B8 is commonly encountered in low-level programming, embedded systems, networking, and data analysis when hexadecimal notation is used to express values.

When interpreting 0x18B8, one should consider the surrounding context to determine what it represents—an integer value, an address, a register value, or part of a larger data structure. Without context, it is simply the decimal number 6328 expressed in hex.
