0x972

0x972 is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly used in computing to denote the integer value 2418 in decimal. The prefix 0x indicates base-16 representation. In binary, 0x972 equals 100101110010, a 12-bit pattern. In hex notation, each digit represents four bits, so a 3-digit hex number like 0x972 compactly expresses a 12-bit value.

In programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript, a literal written as 0x972 yields the integer 2418, which can participate in arithmetic, comparisons, and bitwise operations. Such literals are commonly used for specifying memory addresses, bit masks, color component values, or configuration flags where precise binary patterns matter. However, the interpretation of 0x972 depends on context, including the data type and endianness of a system.

In data encoding and debugging, 0x972 may appear as part of a hex dump, assembly listing, or as an opcode or register value, depending on the architecture and tooling. It is not by itself a widely recognized standard or identifier; its significance arises only within a specific software, hardware, or documentation context.

Conversion notes: decimal 2418; binary 100101110010; hex 0x972.
