0xAB0

0xAB0 is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in programming. The 0x prefix signals base-16 notation, and the digits AB0 correspond to the decimal value 2736. In binary, it is 1010 1011 0000. This compact representation makes it convenient for low-level operations and compact numeric constants.

In languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, 0xAB0 can appear in expressions as a numeric constant. It is often used in bitwise operations, masks, or as a compact representation of small integers or flag values. Because hexadecimal literals align well with binary patterns, they are widely employed when dealing with memory layouts, offsets, and hardware interfaces.

As an address representation, 0xAB0 can appear as part of a larger value, for example 0x0000AB0 in a 32-bit system, where only the lower bits are shown or relevant in a given context. The exact interpretation depends on the surrounding program or data structure.

In blockchain and smart-contract contexts, the 0x prefix is common for hexadecimal strings, but valid addresses on networks like Ethereum typically require 40 hex characters after 0x (a full 20-byte address). Therefore, 0xAB0 is not a standard blockchain address; it is more likely to be used as a small numeric value or as a fragment within a larger address or data field.

The notation 0xAB0 reflects the broader convention of prefixing hexadecimal literals with 0x, a practice rooted in early C-era programming and now widespread across many languages.
