0x42B

0x42B is a hexadecimal numeral written with the 0x prefix. In hexadecimal notation, digits include 0–9 and A–F, where A–F represent the values 10–15. The sequence 42B represents the decimal value 1067, since 4 × 256 + 2 × 16 + 11 = 1067. In binary, 0x42B corresponds to 10000101011 (11 bits) or, when padded to 12 bits, 010000101011.

In programming, 0x42B is commonly used as a numeric literal in languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python. Writing a variable to this value, for example n = 0x42B in many languages, yields the decimal value 1067. Hex literals like 0x42B are often employed for readability when dealing with bitwise operations, memory addresses, offsets, or bit masks, because each hexadecimal digit maps neatly to four binary bits.

Context and interpretation can vary by application. When used as a memory address, the value is meaningful only within a given system’s address space and endianness. When used as a bit mask, 0x42B defines specific bit patterns that can enable, disable, or test particular flags. As a general numeric constant, 0x42B is simply another way to express the integer 1067.
