0x23F

0x23F is the hexadecimal literal for the integer 575. The prefix 0x is used in many programming languages, such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript, to denote a base-16 (hexadecimal) value.

In decimal form, 0x23F equals 575. Its binary representation is 1000111111, and in octal it is 1077. The hex digits 2, 3, and F correspond to 2×256, 3×16, and 15, which sum to 575. The prime factorization of 575 is 5^2 × 23.

From a bit-width perspective, the value 575 requires 10 bits in binary. It does not fit within a single 8-bit byte but fits comfortably within 16 bits or more.

In computing contexts, 0x23F is commonly used as a numeric constant, offset, or flag in examples and code illustrations. Its interpretation can depend on the surrounding code, including the declared type of the integer literal (for example, unsigned vs. signed).
