0x2BB

0x2BB is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing to represent a numeric value. The prefix 0x denotes hexadecimal notation, and the digits 2, B, B correspond to 2, 11, 11 in base 16. The decimal value is 699. In binary, it equals 1010111011. As a three-digit hex literal, it represents 12 bits (0010 1011 1011), a detail that can matter in low-level contexts such as bitfields or memory addressing.

In programming languages such as C, C++, JavaScript, and Python, 0x2BB is used to express the integer constant 699. For example, int x = 0x2BB; in C-like syntax; or x = 0x2BB in other languages. In Python, the function hex(699) yields '0x2bb', illustrating how the value is represented across languages.

Context matters for how 0x2BB is interpreted. It can be a raw numeric constant, a memory address or register value, a bitmask in bitwise operations, or part of a protocol where specific hex values encode flags or fields. The meaning of 0x2BB therefore depends on surrounding code, architecture, and the data formats in use. The 0x prefix is a widely adopted convention for hex literals, making 0x2BB a portable representation of the same numeric value across many programming environments.
