0x360

0x360 refers to the hexadecimal representation of the number 864. In computing and programming, hexadecimal (often shortened to hex) is a base-16 numbering system. This means it uses sixteen distinct symbols, typically 0-9 and A-F, to represent numerical values. The prefix "0x" is a common convention used in many programming languages to denote that the following number is in hexadecimal format.

The number 864 has various applications depending on the context. In some programming scenarios, it might represent a specific value within a data structure, a memory address, or a constant used in an algorithm. For example, it could be part of a color code, a timing value, or an error code. Without specific context, 0x360 is simply the hexadecimal way of writing 864.

The conversion from hexadecimal to decimal is straightforward. Each digit in a hexadecimal number represents a power of 16. Starting from the rightmost digit, the positions represent 16^0, 16^1, 16^2, and so on. For 0x360, the calculation is (3 * 16^2) + (6 * 16^1) + (0 * 16^0), which equals (3 * 256) + (6 * 16) + (0 * 1) = 768 + 96 + 0 = 864. This conversion highlights the relationship between the hexadecimal and decimal numeral systems.
