0x18BF

0x18BF is a hexadecimal literal commonly encountered in computing. The 0x prefix indicates that the following digits are in base 16, and 18BF denotes the value in hex. As a decimal integer, 0x18BF equals 6335. In binary it is 0001100010111111.

In practical use, 0x18BF appears in software and hardware as a numeric constant. It may be used to initialize variables, represent a memory address, encode an opcode or data field, or serve as a configuration value. The exact interpretation depends on the programming language, the architecture, and the surrounding data format. Because hexadecimal notation is compact and aligns with binary data, such literals are common in low-level programming and electronics documentation.

Variants and related concepts: 0x18BF is one example of a hexadecimal value; other values with the same prefix appear across different contexts. In graphics or data encoding schemes that employ fixed-width words, a 16-bit value like 0x18BF could be interpreted according to a predefined format, such as a color or a set of bit flags, depending on the system’s specifications. Without context, 0x18BF has no intrinsic meaning beyond representing the number 6335 in hex.
