0x1C8A

0x1C8A is a hexadecimal numeral used in computing to denote an integer value. Interpreted in base-16, it equals decimal 7306, and in binary it is 0001 1100 1000 1010.

The 0x prefix is a common marker in many programming languages (such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript) that indicates hexadecimal notation. Four hex digits correspond to a 16-bit value; the literal may be stored as int or long depending on the language and platform.

In practical contexts, 0x1C8A can appear as a memory address, a register value, or a bit mask. In 16-bit color representations like RGB565 used by some displays, such a value encodes red, green, and blue components packed into the 16 bits.

As with any numeric literal, its precise meaning arises from the surrounding system, protocol, or software. It may serve as an identifier, an offset within a data structure, or a constant used in algorithms.

Because hexadecimal notation is compact for expressing bit patterns, literals like 0x1C8A are common in low-level programming, graphics, embedded systems, and debugging. For further context, see hexadecimal notation, base-16, memory addressing, and 16-bit color formats.
