0xA72

0xA72 is a hexadecimal integer literal. In decimal notation it equals 2674, and in binary it is 1010 0111 0010. Its octal representation is 5166 (that is, 2674 decimal converted to base 8).

The 0x prefix is a common convention in programming to denote hexadecimal values. Hex literals are frequently used because they map neatly to binary and align with byte-sized or word-sized data in computer systems. A three-digit hex value like 0xA72 represents a value within a 12-bit range, and can be used as a small constant, a bitmask fragment, or part of a larger numeric computation in source code. In practice, many languages allow this form as a literal that the compiler or interpreter converts to the appropriate integer value.

Context matters for interpretation. On its own, 0xA72 does not identify a standard resource such as a network address, color code, or file, and its meaning depends on how it is used within a given system. For example, in hardware memory maps it could correspond to a specific address offset; in software it might be used as a numeric constant in calculations or bitwise operations. It is not a valid Ethereum address or other fixed-length identifier unless extended to the required length by the surrounding system.

Example: adding a small offset, 0xA72 + 0x10 equals 0xA82 (2674 + 16 = 2690). Such operations illustrate how hexadecimal literals are manipulated in programming tasks.
