0x4C8

0x4C8 is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly encountered in computing. The prefix 0x signals that the digits following it are in base 16. The specific value 0x4C8 equals 1224 in decimal, and its binary representation is 0100 1100 1000. Leading zeros can be added to form 0x04C8 without changing the value.

In programming languages, 0x4C8 is treated as an integer constant. For example, in C or C++ you might declare int a = 0x4C8; in JavaScript, let a = 0x4C8; both yield the decimal value 1224. Hex literals like this are commonly used to express bit patterns, memory addresses, color components in certain contexts, or flags and masks, because hexadecimal aligns neatly with binary groups of four bits.

Contexts in which 0x4C8 may appear include memory dumps, disassembly, debug output, and low-level hardware interfacing, where hexadecimal notation helps represent single bytes or words. It can also serve as an identifier or offset within data structures, firmware, or protocol specifications, though by itself it denotes only a numeric value unless additional context assigns meaning to the number.

Related concepts include converting between hexadecimal, decimal, and binary representations, understanding endianness when interpreting 0x4C8 as part of multi-byte values, and recognizing that 0x4C8 can be written as 0x04C8 if a fixed width is desired. Without context, 0x4C8 is simply the hex value 1224.
