0x8C0

0x8C0 is a hexadecimal numeral prefixed with 0x, a convention widely used in computing to denote the decimal number 2240. In hexadecimal, the digits 0-9 and A-F are used, with 0x8C0 equaling 8×16^2 + 12×16 + 0 = 2048 + 192 + 0 = 2240.

In programming, 0x8C0 is a literal value. Most languages interpret 0x8C0 as an unsigned integer constant, though the exact storage and type can vary by language and context. It can appear as a constant, a memory address, an offset, a bitmask, or part of a data structure, with its meaning determined by the surrounding code, architecture, or specification.

Because hexadecimal notation is common for low-level work, 0x8C0 may also appear in debugging outputs, hardware datasheets, or protocol specifications as an identifier or parameter. Its interpretation is entirely context-dependent, and the same literal can represent different concepts in different systems.
