0x5764

0x5764 is a hexadecimal literal used in programming to denote the unsigned integer value 22372. The 0x prefix is a conventional indicator of hexadecimal notation in many programming languages and technical contexts.

Numerical properties of 0x5764 include its binary representation, which is 0101011101100100, and its decimal value, 22372. If interpreted as two consecutive bytes, the high byte is 0x57 and the low byte is 0x64; these bytes correspond to the ASCII characters 'W' and 'd' respectively when treated as ASCII data.

Common uses for a hexadecimal literal like 0x5764 include assigning constants to variables, specifying bit masks, or encoding values in low-level data structures. It may also appear in contexts such as color representations in certain 16-bit color formats or in memory addresses and instruction encoding within systems programming. The exact interpretation depends on the surrounding code and the data type involved.

Relation to Unicode and other notations is sometimes noted, since 0x5764 resembles the Unicode code point U+5764 in hexadecimal. However, the 0x5764 literal and the Unicode code point U+5764 belong to different conventions: 0x indicates a numeric literal in a programming language, while U+ denotes a specific character in the Unicode standard. The two are not interchangeable and refer to distinct concepts.
