0x270

0x270 is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly used in programming and computing. In decimal form, 0x270 equals 624. Its binary representation is 0010 0111 0000, and in octal it is 1160. Leading zeros in hexadecimal literals do not change the value, so 0x0270 is equal to 0x270.

In programming languages such as C, C++, Java, C#, JavaScript, and Python, a value prefixed with 0x denotes hexadecimal notation. For example, int x = 0x270; assigns the integer value 624 to x. Hex literals are often used for compactly expressing bit patterns, memory addresses, or constants that are convenient in relation to powers of two.

Applications and conventions

- Bitwise operations: 0x270 can serve as part of a bitmask (for instance, 0x270 = 0x200 | 0x70) to enable or test specific bits in a flag field.

- Memory and addresses: hex literals frequently appear in debugging, low-level code, and systems programming to represent addresses or offsets.

- Endianness: when stored in memory, the byte order depends on the system’s endianness. A 16‑bit value of 0x0270 would be stored as 02 70 in big-endian or 70 02 in little-endian.

Summary

0x270 is a concise, common hexadecimal constant with a decimal value of 624. It serves as a general-purpose representation of a numeric value in code, often used for bit manipulation, addressing, or as part of larger bit-patterns.
