0x236

0x236 is a hexadecimal representation of a number, commonly used in computing to denote an integer constant. In decimal, 0x236 equals 566. In binary, it is 1000110110. The prefix 0x signals that the digits that follow are in base-16 rather than decimal.

Hex literals like 0x236 are widely used in programming languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python to specify constants, memory addresses, color components, and bit masks. For example, in C you might write int x = 0x236; which initializes x to decimal 566. In contexts involving memory or hardware, values in hex are common because each hex digit corresponds to four binary bits, making it convenient to read and manipulate bit patterns.

The significance of 0x236 depends on context. It can appear as a value in code, an offset, an address, or a portion of a larger hex value such as 0x0236 or 0x1236. Because hex notation is widespread in computing, 0x236 is typically encountered as a routine numeric literal rather than a symbol with a universal, fixed meaning. The meaning attached to 0x236 is determined by the surrounding program, data structure, or hardware specification in which it appears.
