0x1AC1

0x1AC1 is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in computing to denote the integer with decimal value 6849. The leading 0x shows that the digits following are in base 16.

Within source code, 0x1AC1 may serve as a constant, a memory address, or a bit mask. For example, in C or C++, int x = 0x1AC1; assigns the value 6849 to x. In Python, x = 0x1AC1 yields 6849 as well. Hex literals are favored for low-level work because they map neatly to binary groups and to byte boundaries, aiding readability when dealing with hardware registers or flag bits.

Outside programming, 0x1AC1 can appear as an identifier in protocols, device datasheets, or datasets. Its meaning is defined entirely by the context in which it is used; it does not convey intrinsic meaning on its own.

In decimal, 0x1AC1 equals 6849; in binary, it is 0001 1010 1100 0001 (grouping into four-bit nibbles). Hex digits A through F are case-insensitive in most languages, so 0x1ac1 is equivalent to 0x1AC1.
