0xCD2

0xCD2 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing to represent the integer value 3282 in decimal form. The prefix 0x is a common convention in many programming languages, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, to denote that the following digits are in base 16.

In hexadecimal, the digits range from 0 to 9 and A to F, where A through F represent decimal values 10 through 15. The value 0xCD2 can also be expressed in binary as 1100 1101 0010. This kind of notation is frequently encountered in low-level programming, debugging, and data formatting, where hex literals are convenient for representing bit patterns, masks, offsets, or addresses.

Common uses of 0xCD2 in code might include assigning a constant to a variable, performing bitwise operations, or serving as a small, human-readable numeric token. For example, in a language like C or JavaScript, a statement such as int x = 0xCD2; would assign the decimal value 3282 to x. The literal is treated as an integer in most languages, with the exact type depending on the language’s rules and the surrounding code.

While 0xCD2 itself does not imply a specific standard meaning, hexadecimal notation is a widespread tool for representing data succinctly and for interfacing with hardware, memory addresses, and binary protocols. See also hexadecimals, 0x notation, and decimal numbers.
