0xB8B

0xB8B is a hexadecimal literal commonly encountered in programming and technical references. The prefix “0x” indicates that the following digits are in base-16. In this case, the digits B, 8, and B form a three-digit hex value.

Numerical value and representations. As a hexadecimal number, 0xB8B equals 2955 in decimal. In binary it is 1011 1000 1011. When stored in different integer sizes, it may be written with leading zeros for clarity, for example as 0x0B8B in a 16-bit context or 0x00000B8B in a 32-bit context. Endianness affects how the value is laid out in memory, but the logical value remains 2955.

Context and usage. Hex literals like 0xB8B are used to express constants in many programming languages (for example C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python). They commonly appear as numeric constants, bit masks, flags, memory addresses, hardware register identifiers, or other identifiers where compact hexadecimal notation is convenient. By contrast, standalone use of 0xB8B as an identifier is less common without accompanying context.

Notes. Without a surrounding context—such as a specific programming language, system architecture, or protocol—0xB8B is simply a hexadecimal number. Its meaning and significance depend on how the value is interpreted within a given application or standard.
