0xA89

0xA89 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing and digital systems. The 0x prefix indicates base-16 notation in many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, and Python. The digits A, 8, and 9 correspond to the values 10, 8, and 9, respectively. As a result, 0xA89 represents the decimal value 2697, and its binary form is 1010 1000 1001. As a three-digit hex literal, it occupies 12 bits.

In software development, 0xA89 can appear as a constant in source code, passed to functions, or used in bitwise operations, masks, or as a small address offset in memory-related contexts. In low-level programming and reverse engineering, such values commonly identify memory locations, opcode patterns, or hardware register fields, depending on the system’s architecture and data width.

In color and display contexts, hexadecimal notation follows specific conventions. A shorthand color like #A89 in CSS expands to #AA8899, but the form 0xA89 is not used for web colors. The same hex digits can be interpreted differently in other schemes that partition the value into separate channels or fields.
