0x4E6

0x4E6 is a hexadecimal numeral used in computing to represent the decimal value 1254. The prefix 0x signals hexadecimal notation, a convention common in languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript. The digits 4, E, and 6 correspond to decimal values 4, 14, and 6, respectively, yielding 4*16^2 + 14*16 + 6 = 1254.

In source code, 0x4E6 may appear as a literal for an offset, a bit flag, an identifier, or a small integer parameter, with its meaning determined by context such as the variable type, data structure, or the surrounding code. Its interpretation can differ across applications, platforms, and programming languages.

In memory or data transmission, the value 0x4E6 occupies two bytes when represented as a 16-bit quantity. In big-endian form it would be stored as 0x04 followed by 0xE6; in little-endian form, 0xE6 followed by 0x04. For larger word sizes, the value can be embedded within larger hexadecimal words, for example 0x000004E6 in a 32-bit word or 0x00000000000004E6 in a 64-bit word.

There is no specialized meaning universally attached to the string 0x4E6 beyond its role as a numeric literal. Its significance is entirely contextual, depending on where and how it is used, such as in debugging output, example code, or configuration data.
