0xB0A

0xB0A is a hexadecimal integer literal used in computing and programming. The prefix 0x indicates base-16 notation, and the digits B, 0, and A represent the hexadecimal values 11, 0, and 10, respectively. This makes 0xB0A a compact way to express a specific numeric value in source code.

Numerical value and representations: 0xB0A equals decimal 2826. In binary, it is 101100001010 (12 bits). In octal, it is 5412. These different bases are interchangeable ways to represent the same underlying value, and the choice of base often depends on the task at hand, such as low-level bit manipulation or human readability in debugging.

Usage and context: In many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, 0xB0A can appear as a literal constant used in expressions, arithmetic, bitwise operations, or as an offset or address when dealing with memory or hardware interfaces. The interpretation of 0xB0A—whether it is a numeric value, an address, a bit mask, or something else—depends on the surrounding code, the variable type, and the architecture or environment in which it is used.

Notes: 0xB0A is not tied to a specific standard or widely recognized entity beyond its role as a hex literal. Like any hexadecimal constant, careful handling is important to avoid misreading digits, since hex uses digits 0–9 together with letters A–F.
