0x1EF6

0x1EF6 is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to denote a specific integer value. The prefix 0x indicates that the digits that follow are in base 16. The value 0x1EF6 equals 7926 in decimal and is represented in binary as 0001 1110 1111 0110, a 16-bit pattern.

In memory and computation, 0x1EF6 can appear in various contexts. It may represent a memory address, an offset, a flag or set of bit flags, or part of a larger numeric value in 32-bit or 64-bit words. When stored as a 32-bit value, it commonly appears as 0x00001EF6; in little-endian order the bytes would be F6 1E 00 00, while in big-endian order they would be 00 00 1E F6. Hex literals like 0x1EF6 are widely used across programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript to express exact numeric constants.

Because 0x1EF6 is a concrete numeric value, it can be involved in arithmetic, bitwise operations, and data interpretation. For example, it can form part of a bitmask, be compared against other values, or be used to set or test specific bits within a register or data word. Its usefulness arises from the clarity that hex notation provides when dealing with memory layouts and binary flags.
