0x2ADC

0x2ADC is a hexadecimal value that can represent various things depending on its context. In computing, hexadecimal, often abbreviated as hex, is a base-16 numeral system. This means it uses sixteen distinct symbols, typically the digits 0-9 and the letters A-F, to represent numbers. Each hex digit corresponds to exactly four binary digits (bits).

The specific value 2ADC in hexadecimal translates to a decimal (base-10) value of 10940. This conversion is done by multiplying each digit by the corresponding power of 16 and summing the results: (2 * 16^3) + (10 * 16^2) + (12 * 16^1) + (10 * 16^0) = 8192 + 2560 + 192 + 10 = 10940.

As a raw numerical value, 0x2ADC might be found as a memory address, a color code (though typically represented with six hex digits, e.g., #002ADC for a shade of blue), an error code, or a parameter in a software or hardware configuration. Without additional context, its precise meaning remains undefined. Its usage is prevalent in low-level programming, hardware interaction, and data representation where the compactness and direct mapping to binary are advantageous.
