0x3D2

0x3D2 is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in computing to denote the integer value 978 in decimal. The 0x prefix signals hexadecimal notation, so 0x3D2 equals 3 times 256 plus 13 times 16 plus 2, which is 978. The number is even and has the prime factorization 2 × 3 × 163.

In programming, 0x3D2 can serve as a constant in source code. Languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python evaluate 0x3D2 as the decimal 978. Bitwise operations on this value illustrate typical hex usage: 0x3D2 & 0xFF equals 0xD2, and 0x3D2 >> 4 equals 0x3D. As a memory address or port identifier, 0x3D2 may appear in examples or low-level code contexts, though its specific meaning depends on the surrounding system or architecture.

In data representation, 0x3D2 may be relevant when discussing hexadecimal encoding, byte ordering, or opcode values in machine, assembly, or firmware discussions. It is not a standard color code or a universally assigned identifier; its interpretation requires contextual information such as the programming language, platform, or hardware documentation.

Overall, 0x3D2 serves as a concrete example of a hex literal that resolves to 978 in decimal, illustrating how hexadecimal notation maps to conventional numeric values in computing. See also hexadecimal notation, numeric bases, and bitwise operations for related concepts.
