0xC22

0xC22 is a hexadecimal notation commonly used in computing to denote a specific integer. The prefix 0x indicates that the digits that follow are in base 16. In this case, C22 represents the decimal value 3106. In binary, 0xC22 is 110000100010, and in 16-bit form it can be written as 0000 1100 0010 0010 (often viewed as 0x0C22).

Because hexadecimal literals are prevalent in programming, 0xC22 can appear as a constant in source code, a memory address or offset in documentation, or as part of debugging output and configuration data. Its exact meaning is highly context dependent and relates to how the surrounding system maps addresses, registers, or instructions.

In hardware and low-level software contexts, hex values like 0xC22 are often used to refer to specific registers, ports, bit masks, or opcodes within a given architecture’s memory map. The same numeric value might have different interpretations on different platforms, so its significance is determined by the hardware or software documentation in use.

Note that 0xC22 should not be confused with color hex codes used in web design. For example, the three-digit color shorthand #C22 expands to the six-digit #CC2222, whereas 0xC22 is a numeric literal, not a color specification. See also hexadecimal, binary, memory address, and number bases.
