0x361

0x361 is a hexadecimal numeral that denotes the integer value 865 in decimal. The 0x prefix is widely used in programming and computing to indicate hexadecimal notation, helping distinguish hex values from decimal integers.

In different bases, 0x361 converts as follows: decimal 865; binary 0011 0110 0001 (which corresponds to the three hex digits 3, 6, and 1); and octal 0o1541. These representations are useful in various computing contexts where different bases are convenient, such as addressing, bit masking, or low-level data inspection.

In programming languages that support hexadecimal literals, 0x361 is treated as a constant value equal to 865. For example, in C or C-like languages, a statement such as int x = 0x361; assigns the integer value 865 to x. The same literal is valid in many other languages that adopt the 0x prefix for hex numbers, including Java, JavaScript, and Python. Hex literals are common in debugging, disassembly, and firmware work, where memory addresses, instruction encodings, or bit patterns are frequently expressed in hex because each hex digit represents four bits.

The use of hexadecimal notation is favored in contexts that benefit from direct nibble grouping, such as representing colors in truncated forms or illustrating memory layouts. While 0x361 on its own has no universal significance beyond representing the number 865 in hex, it exemplifies the broader role of hexadecimal literals in software development and digital systems.
