0x49E

0x49E is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly used in computing and programming. In decimal, the value is 1182, since 0x49E = 4×256 + 9×16 + 14.

In many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, and JavaScript, a value prefixed with 0x denotes a base-16 integer. Hex literals are convenient for low-level operations, such as bit masking, shifting, and representing binary data in a compact form. They are also frequently used to indicate memory addresses, color codes, or constants that align with hardware or protocol specifications.

Hex values are often written with optional leading zeros to fit a particular width. For example, 0x049E and 0x049E are equivalent to 0x49E, but the extra zeros can help align values in tables or in binary data layouts. Each hex digit represents four bits, so 0x49E occupies 12 bits in binary form.

Common contexts where 0x49E might appear include debugging and reverse engineering, where hexadecimal notation is used to display memory contents or instruction encodings; configuration or initialization code that defines constant values; and graphics or hardware programming, where hex literals specify color components, register values, or bitfields.

While 0x49E has no widely recognized meaning by itself beyond its numeric value, its usage is representative of hex notation’s role in representing binary data in a human-readable form. See also hexadecimal notation, memory addressing, and bitwise operations.
