0x9BA

0x9BA is a hexadecimal numeric literal commonly seen in computing. The prefix 0x signals that the following digits are in base 16, a common convention in many programming languages for representing integers.

In decimal notation, 0x9BA equals 2490. In binary, it corresponds to 100110111010 (12 bits). The hex digits 9, B, and A map to 1001, 1011, and 1010, which together form the full binary representation.

Common usage involves representing integers in source code. In languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, writing 0x9BA denotes the integer value 2490. It is frequently employed for readability in bitwise operations, memory addresses, offsets, masks, or other low-level constants where hexadecimal alignment with binary is advantageous.

Contextual notes include that 0x9BA is not a standardized symbol with inherent meaning beyond its numeric value; its significance depends on how the value is used in a program or system. While hexadecimal notation is also used for color values in many contexts, a typical color specification uses longer forms like #RRGGBB or 0xRRGGBB, and 0x9BA alone does not specify a color by itself.
