0x568

0x568 is a hexadecimal literal, a number written in base 16 with the 0x prefix commonly used in programming. Its decimal value is 1384. In binary, 0x568 is 0101 0110 1000, a 12‑bit representation; if padded to 16 bits, it can be written as 0000 0101 0110 1000.

In programming languages that recognize hexadecimal literals, 0x568 can be assigned to variables, used in expressions, or combined with bitwise operations. For example, in C or JavaScript you might see int v = 0x568; or x = y & 0x568. Understanding its bit pattern helps with masking, shifting, and other low-level tasks. Operations such as 0x568 & 0xFF yield 0x68 (104 decimal), and 0x568 >> 4 yields 0x56 (86 decimal) in integer arithmetic.

Memory-related considerations include endianness. A 16‑bit representation of 0x0568 stored in memory will have different byte orders depending on the architecture: big-endian would place 0x05 first and 0x68 second, while little-endian would store 0x68 followed by 0x05. Such details matter when reading or writing binary data across systems.

Beyond general use as a numeric constant, 0x568 serves as an example of hexadecimal notation that appears in source code, debug outputs, and documentation. It illustrates how base-16 numbers map to decimal, binary, and memory representations, and how hex literals interact with common programming operations.
