0x34BB

0x34BB is a hexadecimal numeral prefixed with 0x. In decimal notation, 0x34BB equals 13499. The 0x prefix signals that the digits that follow are in base 16, not base 10.

In programming, 0x34BB commonly appears as a numeric literal. Languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python use the 0x prefix to denote hexadecimal values. The digits 0–9 and A–F are used, where A–F represent values 10–15. For example, 0x34BB can be interpreted directly as a 16-bit value in contexts like memory addresses, bit masks, or constant definitions. Its binary representation is 0011010010111011.

The meaning of 0x34BB depends on context. It could be used as a literal in arithmetic operations, as a mask to enable or disable specific bits, or as part of a protocol that conveys information in hexadecimal form. In some debugging or logging outputs, values like 0x34BB are printed to indicate specific register contents or data words.

Historically, the 0x prefix originated in the C programming language and has since been adopted by many languages and tools for representing hexadecimal numbers. It helps distinguish hex literals from decimal literals and from other notations such as octal (often 0 prefix) or binary (0b in some languages).
