0x466

0x466 is a hexadecimal numeral. In many programming languages, the prefix 0x indicates that the digits that follow are base-16. The hexadecimal digits in 0x466 are 4, 6, and 6, which correspond to the decimal value 1126.

As a decimal, 0x466 equals 1126. In binary, it is 10001100110, and in octal, it is 2146. The same value can also be represented with leading zeroes in hex, for example 0x0466, without changing its value, since leading zeros do not alter the number.

In practice, 0x466 is used as a numeric literal in a wide range of programming languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, C#, and Python. It is commonly employed to define constants, set bit masks, represent memory addresses in low-level code, or specify offsets and sizes in data structures. Its interpretation is entirely context-dependent: the value is just a number until the surrounding code assigns meaning through types, operations, or metadata.

Because 0x466 is simply a representation of a numeric value, its usefulness arises from how it is applied within a program. Without context, it carries no inherent significance beyond the fact that it denotes the decimal value 1126 in hexadecimal notation.
