0x1E2

0x1E2 is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly used in programming to denote a specific integer value. The prefix 0x signals that the following digits are in base 16, rather than decimal.

In hexadecimal, the digits include 0–9 and the letters A–F (case-insensitive). The value 0x1E2 corresponds to 1×16^2 + 14×16 + 2, which equals 256 + 224 + 2 = 482 in decimal. Its binary representation is 111100010.

As a literal, 0x1E2 can appear in code across languages that use C-style syntax, such as C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, and Python. For example, a variable might be initialized with x = 0x1E2 to store the numeric value 482. Hex literals are commonly used for memory addresses, bitwise operations, and constants that are more naturally expressed in hexadecimal, such as color values, masks, and offsets.

Notes of caution include that hex literals are typically case-insensitive and may be written with or without leading zeros depending on the language. Some languages also support readability features, such as underscores, to separate digits within a hex literal (for example, 0x1_E2 in languages that allow it). Overall, 0x1E2 represents the decimal value 482 and serves as a standard example of a hexadecimal constant in programming.
