0x8B9

0x8B9 is a hexadecimal integer literal commonly used in computer programming. The prefix 0x denotes base-16 notation, and the digits 8, B (which represents 11), and 9 form the value. In decimal, 0x8B9 equals 2233. In binary, it is represented as 100010111001, a 12-bit value.

As a hex literal, 0x8B9 can appear in source code across various programming languages, where it represents a constant numeric value. Languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python recognize 0x8B9 as an integer literal. It may be assigned to variables, used in arithmetic, or employed in bitwise operations and masks. Depending on the width or padding of the target data type, it can be written with leading zeros (for example, 0x08B9) without changing its value.

Context is important for interpreting 0x8B9. Its meaning is not fixed beyond being the number 2233 in decimal; its role—whether as a simple constant, an address fragment, or part of a data encoding—depends on the surrounding code or system. In some cases, hex literals are combined with other values to form larger constants or addresses, such as 0x000008B9 in an environment that requires fixed-width integers.
