0xC7C

0xC7C is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing to denote the integer value 3196. The prefix 0x signals hexadecimal notation in many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, and others. Depending on the context, the value may be treated as unsigned or signed, and it may be stored in a variable of a specific width.

As a 12-bit value, 0xC7C has a binary representation of 110001111100. In practice, such a value is commonly seen as a constant used for bitwise operations, masks, offsets, or hardware-related settings. In embedded systems and low-level programming, 0xC7C might represent a memory address, a control register value, or a combination of flags, with its exact meaning defined by accompanying documentation or the surrounding code. In higher-level code, it can also appear as a “magic number” in examples, tests, or configuration data.

When displaying wider data, 0xC7C may be written with a leading zero or extended to a wider width to reflect the intended bit width (for example 0x0C7C or 0xC7C0, depending on the context). However, the bare 0xC7C does not by itself convey width or sign without additional information about the variable type or data format.
