0x40E

0x40E is a hexadecimal literal commonly encountered in computing and software development. The prefix 0x signals that the digits that follow are in base 16 rather than base 10. As a hexadecimal value, 0x40E represents the decimal number 1038 and the binary pattern 10000001110. Leading zeros can be added without changing the value, so 0x040E is equivalent to 0x40E.

In practice, 0x40E may appear in source code as a constant, an offset, a memory address, or as part of a data format. The exact meaning depends on the surrounding context, such as the variable type, the architecture, and the application. In many languages, 0x40E is treated simply as the integer value 1038, subject to the size limits of the integer type (for example 8-, 16-, 32-, or 64-bit integers).

Languages commonly using the 0x prefix include C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, and many assembly languages. When performing operations, 0x40E participates as the numeric value 1038. For example, bitwise operations with 0x40E can be computed as with any other integer: 0x40E & 0x0FF equals 0x00E, and 0x40E | 0x1000 equals 0x140E, assuming the operation is defined for the target word size.

Because 0x40E is not tied to a single, universal meaning, its interpretation is determined by the specific protocol, format, or codebase in which it appears.
