0x9C0

0x9C0 is a hexadecimal numeral used in computing to represent the decimal value 2496. The prefix 0x marks hex notation, and the digits 9, C, and 0 encode 9, 12, and 0 in base-16, respectively. In binary, 0x9C0 equals 100111000000.

In programming languages that recognize hexadecimal literals, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, 0x9C0 denotes the integer 2496. Examples include declaring a variable as int x = 0x9C0; or x = 0x9C0 in Python. The same literal can participate in arithmetic and bitwise operations just like other integers.

Hex literals are commonly used to express memory addresses, hardware register values, color codes in CSS-style contexts, and bit masks because hex compactly represents groups of four bits. For reference, 0x9C0 equals decimal 2496 and binary 100111000000; the hex form is already the most compact form for this value.

Note that 0x9C0 is different from color codes in web design, where colors are typically written as six-digit hex values (for example #99CC00) or three-digit shorthand (#9C0 would expand to #99CC00 in CSS).
