0x8980

0x8980 is a hexadecimal value that represents a specific memory address or a numerical value in computing. Hexadecimal, or hex, is a base-16 number system that uses sixteen symbols: 0-9 to represent values zero to nine, and A-F to represent values ten to fifteen. The prefix "0x" is commonly used in programming and computing to denote a hexadecimal number. In the case of 0x8980, it can be converted to its decimal equivalent by evaluating each digit according to its positional value in the hexadecimal system. The conversion process involves multiplying each digit by 16 raised to the power of its position, starting from the rightmost digit (which is the least significant digit). For 0x8980, this would be calculated as (8 * 16^3) + (9 * 16^2) + (8 * 16^1) + (0 * 16^0), which equals 35168 in decimal. This value could represent a specific memory address in a computer's address space, a numerical constant in a program, or a unique identifier in various computing contexts. The use of hexadecimal notation is particularly common in low-level programming, hardware interfacing, and debugging, where it provides a more compact and readable representation of binary data.
