0x917

0x917 is a hexadecimal literal used in computing to denote the numeric value 2327 in decimal. The 0x prefix signals hexadecimal representation, and the digits 9, 1, and 7 correspond to 9×16^2 + 1×16^1 + 7×16^0, which equals 2327.

In programming languages such as C, C++, Java, C#, JavaScript, and Python, the 0x prefix is standard syntax for integer literals written in hex. Therefore, the expression 0x917 represents the decimal value 2327 in these languages, regardless of the surrounding code.

Common uses for hex literals include specifying memory addresses, offsets, and bit masks, as well as constants in algorithms. Hex values are convenient in low-level programming because each hex digit maps cleanly to four binary bits, aiding bitwise operations and debugging. Depending on the context, 0x917 may appear as part of a larger value or address, or as a standalone constant.

In Unicode and text encoding contexts, the hexadecimal value 0x0917 corresponds to the code point U+0917, which represents the Devanagari letter GA (ग). Thus, 0x917 can be interpreted as that code point in hex notation used for character references, although its primary meaning remains the numeric literal in most programming tasks.
