0xBB7

0xBB7 is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in software development to denote the base-16 value BB7. In decimal, the value of 0xBB7 is 2999. The hexadecimal representation BB7 consists of the digits B (which stands for 11) and 7, arranged in three places, corresponding to 11×16^2 + 11×16^1 + 7×16^0.

In programming languages that support hexadecimal literals, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, 0xBB7 is interpreted as an unsigned integer with the decimal value 2999. The 0x prefix is a conventional indicator that the following digits are in base 16 rather than base 10. Variants like 0x0BB7 or 0xBB7u may appear in code to adjust formatting or type qualifiers, but the underlying value remains the same (assuming no overflow or type-related constraints).

Common contexts for encountering 0xBB7 include examples in tutorials, discussions of number bases, memory addressing illustrations, and demonstrations of literal parsing. It can also appear as a fragment of a longer hexadecimal address or identifier in low-level software discussions, where precise values matter for calculations, bitwise operations, or debugging.

Security or documentation notes: when interpreting hex literals, ensure the type width and language-specific rules are considered to avoid overflow or sign issues. See also hexadecimal, decimal, and binary representations, as well as the 0x prefix convention.
