0x2D4

0x2D4 is a hexadecimal integer literal used in computing to denote the value 724 in decimal. The prefix 0x signals hexadecimal notation, and the digits 2, D, and 4 represent 2, 13, and 4 respectively; combining these yields 2×16^2 + 13×16 + 4 = 724. In binary, 0x2D4 equals 1011010100, with leading zeros omitted as needed.

In programming languages that support hexadecimal literals, 0x2D4 is a valid constant. For example, in C or JavaScript, int x = 0x2D4; assigns the decimal value 724 to x. The exact meaning of the literal depends on context, including type and the operation being performed, such as a numeric value, a bit mask, or an address component.

Hexadecimal literals like 0x2D4 are commonly used to express low-level data, memory offsets, hardware registers, or color-related data when longer hex strings are involved. The 0x prefix is widely used in languages derived from C and in many tooling environments to distinguish hex values from decimal literals.
