0x1C7F

0x1C7F is a hexadecimal integer literal used in computing to represent the 16-bit unsigned value 7295. The 0x prefix marks hexadecimal notation in many languages, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python.

Its binary representation is 0001 1100 0111 1111. In decimal form, 0x1C7F equals 7295. Because it uses 16 bits, it can serve as a small numeric quantity or as a component of bitmasks, masks, or packed data fields. As a 16-bit value, it may appear in contexts such as memory addresses, register configurations, or encoded data.

Memory and endianness: In a little-endian memory layout, a 16-bit value 0x1C7F appears as the byte sequence 0x7F followed by 0x1C; in big-endian, it is 0x1C followed by 0x7F. This distinction matters when interpreting raw binary data or communicating between systems with different architectures.

Applications and usage: Hex literals like 0x1C7F are common for representing color components, masks, opcodes, or configuration flags when combined with other fields. However, 0x1C7F itself does not carry a universal meaning beyond its numeric value unless defined by a particular protocol or software component.
