0x288

0x288 is a hexadecimal numeral. In decimal form, it equals 648. In binary, it is 1010001000, and in 16-bit hexadecimal form it is written as 0x0288. The two-byte memory representation depends on endianness: big-endian stores it as 02 88, while little-endian stores it as 88 02.

In programming, any value prefixed with 0x denotes a hexadecimal literal. Therefore, in languages such as C, C++, Java, or JavaScript, an expression like int x = 0x288; assigns the decimal value 648 to x. Such hex literals are commonly used for representing constants, bit masks, hardware registers, or offsets in low-level code, where hexadecimal notation aligns with binary patterns and hardware addressing.

Context matters for interpretation. The same number may serve different roles depending on the surrounding architecture, data type, and endianness. For example, 0x288 could represent a memory address, an offset within a file, or a bit-field combination, but on its own it is simply the integer 648. In color notation, hexadecimal values are often written with six digits (RRGGBB), so 0x288 is not a standard color code, though it could be part of a larger color value in some schemes.

Overall, 0x288 is primarily a hexadecimal representation of the integer 648, used in computing wherever hexadecimal literals are appropriate.
