0x4C2

0x4C2 is a hexadecimal representation of a numerical value. In decimal, this value is 1218. This representation is commonly encountered in computing, particularly in contexts such as memory addresses, register values, or data representation. The '0x' prefix is a standard convention in many programming languages and systems to denote a hexadecimal number. Hexadecimal, a base-16 numeral system, uses digits 0-9 and letters A-F to represent values. Each hexadecimal digit corresponds to four binary digits (bits). Therefore, 0x4C2 can be broken down into its constituent hexadecimal digits: 4, C, and 2. Each of these digits can be converted to its binary equivalent. The digit '4' is 0100 in binary, 'C' (which represents 12 in decimal) is 1100 in binary, and '2' is 0010 in binary. Concatenating these gives the binary representation of 0x4C2 as 010011000010. This binary string, when converted back to decimal, also equals 1218. Understanding hexadecimal notation is crucial for tasks involving low-level programming, debugging, and analyzing data structures.
