0x7A3

0x7A3 is a hexadecimal literal commonly encountered in computing. The prefix 0x signals base-16 notation, so 0x7A3 represents the decimal value 1955. Hex literals like this are widely used in programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python to express constants, memory addresses, or bit patterns in a compact form.

In code, 0x7A3 can appear as a simple constant, for example in a statement like int x = 0x7A3;, where x would be assigned the value 1955. It can also serve as part of a memory address, a bitmask, a flag combination, or an offset, depending on the surrounding context and the data model in which it is used. Because the meaning of a hex value is determined by its usage, 0x7A3 carries no inherent significance beyond the value it encodes.

Context is essential for interpretation. Without accompanying documentation, source code, or a specification, 0x7A3 is simply a numeric value. It is not associated with a widely recognized standard, product, or public identifier in the way that some longer, standardized codes are. As with other hex literals, its relevance is defined by the program or protocol in which it appears.

Etymology and related concepts: the 0x prefix originates from early programming languages and has become a conventional way to denote hexadecimal numbers in many modern languages. For broader understanding, see hexadecimal notation and numeric literals in programming.
