0x4BA

0x4BA is a hexadecimal numeric literal. In many programming languages, the prefix 0x indicates that the digits following it are written in base-16. The digits 4, B, and A represent the values 4, 11, and 10, respectively, so 0x4BA equals decimal 1210. When padded to 16 bits, it can be written as 0x04BA, and in binary it is 0000 0100 1011 1010.

In practical use, a literal like 0x4BA is not a standalone item with inherent meaning; its interpretation depends on the context. It may be used as a constant, a memory address, an error code, an offset, or part of a larger value such as 0x4BA0 or 0x4BAB. It is common in low-level programming, embedded systems, and data dumps where hexadecimal representation provides a compact form that maps cleanly to binary data.

There is no widely recognized entity, standard, or definition specifically named "0x4BA" beyond its function as a numeric literal. As with other hex values, its significance arises from the code or data in which it appears.
