0xCC4

0xCC4 is a hexadecimal literal that uses the 0x prefix to indicate base-16 notation. The value of this literal is 3268 in decimal. In binary it is 110011000100. Because it consists of three hex digits, 0xCC4 represents a 12-bit value, which fits easily within common integer types in many programming languages.

In many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, numbers can be written with a 0x prefix to denote hexadecimal literals. 0xCC4 would be interpreted as an unsigned integer with the decimal value 3268, and could participate in arithmetic, comparisons, bit shifting, and masking operations.

Context matters: 0xCC4 is typically not used as an address or a hash in modern systems because those identifiers are usually longer. For example, many blockchains use 40- or more hex digits for addresses, and hashes commonly exceed 16 hex digits. As a result, 0xCC4 might appear in code as a small constant, in test data, or as a label rather than as a network identifier.
