0x1E52

0x1E52 is a hexadecimal numeral prefixed with 0x, used in many programming languages to denote a base-16 number. Its value in decimal is 7762, and in binary it is 0001111001010010. It occupies 16 bits, though it can be represented in larger integers with leading zeros.

In software development, such literals are used for constants, bitwise operations, flags, memory addresses, and low-level data manipulation. Examples include setting hardware registers, masking specific bits, or encoding compact values. The exact interpretation depends on context, such as the program's data model or the hardware interface.

Endianness matters for how 0x1E52 is stored in memory. In little-endian form, the bytes appear as 0x52 followed by 0x1E; in big-endian form, the sequence is 0x1E followed by 0x52. If embedded in a larger integer type, it may be part of a multi-byte sequence.

The number has no universal, standardized meaning by itself. It can also be used as a code point in certain notations or as an identifier in hexadecimal namespaces. Without context, it is simply a numeric literal. See also hexadecimal notation, endianness, bitwise operations.
