0xA56

0xA56 is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in computing and technical writing. The prefix 0x indicates that the following digits are in base 16. The sequence A56 represents the value 0xA56, which equals decimal 2646 and consists of 12 bits (three hexadecimal digits).

In programming languages that support hexadecimal notation, 0xA56 can be assigned to numeric variables and used in expressions. For example, in languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, and JavaScript, one can write a variable initialized with 0xA56, and the runtime will treat it as the integer 2646.

Because 0xA56 is simply a numeric literal, its meaning is entirely context-dependent. It may denote an offset, a portion of a memory address, a register or flag identifier, a color code in certain encoding schemes, or a project-specific label. It is not by itself a widely recognized standard, organization, or product; rather, it functions as a convenient shorthand in documentation and source code for the numeric value 2646 when base-16 notation is desired.
