0x488

0x488 is a hexadecimal numeral used in computing to represent a numeric value. The prefix 0x indicates that the following digits are in base 16, a common convention in many programming languages including C, C++, Java, and Python.

As a decimal, 0x488 equals 1160. In binary, it is 0100 1000 1000, which compactly is 0b10010001000. In octal, it is 0o2210.

In practice, 0x488 may appear as a constant in source code, an offset or address in debugging, or as part of protocol or data representations that use hexadecimal notation. For example, a line such as int x = 0x488; assigns the decimal value 1160 to x.

Because hexadecimal literals are widely used to denote memory addresses, bit flags, or compiled code offsets, the exact meaning of 0x488 depends on the surrounding context. It is most commonly encountered when inspecting code, data dumps, or low-level programming where hexadecimal is preferred for its compact representation of binary values.
