0xA9C

0xA9C is a hexadecimal number. In the decimal system, it is equivalent to 2716. This representation is commonly used in computing, particularly for memory addresses, color codes, and other data where a base-16 system offers advantages in brevity and alignment with binary structures. The '0x' prefix is a standard convention to indicate that the number is in hexadecimal format. The digits A, B, C, D, E, and F represent the decimal values 10 through 15 respectively.
