0x3CF2

0x3CF2 is a hexadecimal numeral. In decimal form, it is equivalent to 15602. This value can be represented in various computational contexts, such as memory addresses, color codes, or data identifiers. The prefix "0x" is a common convention in programming languages to denote a hexadecimal number. Hexadecimal is a base-16 numeral system that uses sixteen distinct symbols, typically digits 0-9 and letters A-F, where A represents 10, B represents 11, C represents 12, D represents 13, E represents 14, and F represents 15. The value 0x3CF2 can be broken down as follows: 3 * 16^3 + 12 * 16^2 + 15 * 16^1 + 2 * 16^0. This calculation results in 3 * 4096 + 12 * 256 + 15 * 16 + 2 * 1, which equals 12288 + 3072 + 240 + 2 = 15602. Understanding the conversion between hexadecimal and decimal is fundamental in computer science for tasks involving data representation and manipulation.
