0x1B5

0x1B5 is a hexadecimal literal used in computer programming to denote a numeric value. In decimal form, 0x1B5 equals 437. Its binary representation is 0001 1011 0101, and its octal equivalent is 663. The digits 1, B (which equals 11), and 5 reflect the base-16 encoding.

In programming and computing, a value written with the 0x prefix is interpreted as hexadecimal. The meaning of a hex literal like 0x1B5 depends on the surrounding code and data types. It may serve as a constant in arithmetic, as a bit-field mask, an index, a flag, or part of a memory address in low-level contexts.

Examples of usage in common languages:

- Python: value = 0x1B5; print(value) # 437

- C: int value = 0x1B5;

- JavaScript: let value = 0x1B5; console.log(value); // 437

Notes:

- 0x1B5 is larger than 0xFF, so it cannot be represented by a single 8-bit byte; it requires at least 12 bits.

- 0x1B5 should not be confused with 0x1B, which is the ASCII escape character; the full 0x1B5 value extends beyond that single byte.

- Hex literals like 0x1B5 are common across many programming languages, making them a standard way to express numeric constants in portable source code.
