0xA73

0xA73 is a hexadecimal numeral that appears in computing and programming. The prefix 0x indicates that the digits that follow are base-16 values.

As a number, 0xA73 equals the decimal value 2675. In binary it is 1010 0111 0011. If represented in a 16-bit field, it can be written as 0000 1010 0111 0011.

In source code, 0xA73 can be used as a constant in various programming languages. For example, in languages such as C or C++, a declaration like int x = 0xA73; assigns the value 2675 to x. In JavaScript or other languages that support hexadecimal literals, 0xA73 is likewise interpreted as the numeric value 2675. Beyond a simple constant, hexadecimal literals like 0xA73 may also represent bit patterns used for masks, flags, or addresses, depending on the architecture, data width, and context.

Because 0xA73 is a base-16 representation, its exact semantic depends on how it is used within a program or system. Factors such as endianness, data size, and surrounding code determine whether it stands for a numeric value, a memory address, or a specific bit pattern.
