0x8FC

0x8FC is a hexadecimal literal consisting of the prefix 0x followed by the digits 8, F, and C. In base-16 notation, the digits correspond to decimal values 8, 15, and 12. The overall value is calculated as 8 × 16^2 plus 15 × 16 plus 12, which equals 2300 in decimal.

In programming, 0x8FC is commonly used to represent the integer 2300 in code. Hex literals are widespread across many languages for tasks such as low-level bitwise operations, memory addressing, and setting specific bit patterns. For example, 0x8FC plus 0x1 yields 0x8FD, and a bitwise AND operation like 0x8FC & 0x0FF yields 0x0FC.

Beyond general computing, the prefix 0x appears in various contexts, including some blockchain and digital-address systems. However, a string like 0x8FC by itself is not a complete address in most networks that use long hexadecimal representations; it would typically need many more digits to form a valid address or identifier. In documentation or examples, 0x8FC is often used as a short illustrative hex value to demonstrate syntax or arithmetic without implying a specific real-world asset or account.
