0x2344

0x2344 is a hexadecimal integer literal used in computing to denote a specific numeric value. In hexadecimal notation, the digits 2, 3, 4, and 4 represent the value 2·16^3 + 3·16^2 + 4·16 + 4, which equals decimal 9028. Its binary representation is 0010 0011 0100 0100.

The 0x prefix is a common convention in many programming languages to indicate hexadecimal, including C, C++, JavaScript, Python, and Java. As such, writing 0x2344 in source code typically initializes or denotes the unsigned integer 9028.

Uses and contexts vary: it may appear as a constant in code, as part of a bitmask, as a fragment of an address or device identifier, or in data encodings. Because it is written with four hex digits, the value fits within a 16-bit field; hexadecimal values can be extended with additional digits for larger numbers, or padded with leading zeros as needed.

Notes: While 0x2344 is a valid numeric literal, its meaning is context-dependent and relates to binary data or arithmetic operations; it does not convey any intrinsic meaning beyond the numeric value unless defined by surrounding code or specifications.
