0xA79

0xA79 is a hexadecimal literal that denotes the integer value 2681. The 0x prefix is a common indicator of base-16 notation in many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, as well as in various configuration and scripting contexts.

In practical use, 0xA79 may appear wherever a numeric constant is needed, such as in array indices, loop limits, bitmasks, or as part of protocol identifiers that are expressed in hexadecimal. It can also show up in debug output, memory dumps, or low-level code where hexadecimal representation is convenient for tracing binary data. In binary form, 0xA79 corresponds to 0000 1010 0111 1001 in a 16-bit layout, illustrating how hex maps to binary bits.

There is no widely recognized object, standard noun, or named entity that is universally known simply as "0xA79." Rather, it functions as a numeric value that may serve as an identifier or constant within a specific system or codebase. Context determines its meaning: in one domain it might represent a flag, in another a memory address fragment, and in yet another a simple numeric parameter. It should not be conflated with Unicode code points (typically written as U+XXXX) or color codes (commonly written as #RRGGBB or similar).
