0xD33

0xD33 is a hexadecimal integer literal commonly used in programming languages that adopt C-style numeric notation. The prefix 0x signals that the digits following it are in base 16, so 0xD33 represents the value 0xD33 in hexadecimal, which equals 3379 in decimal. In binary, it is 1101 0011 0011, a 12-bit pattern.

In practice, 0xD33 may appear as a constant in source code, in debugging output, or in hex dumps to represent a particular byte value, memory address, or bit pattern. It can be part of larger values or combined with bitwise operations, masking, and shifting. Its meaning is context dependent and determined by how the surrounding code interprets the value.

Origin and usage context: The 0x prefix originated in the C programming language and has been adopted by many other languages, including C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, as a standard way to denote hexadecimal literals. Because it is a low-level representation, hex literals like 0xD33 are especially common in systems programming, embedded development, and debugging tasks where precise byte-level values matter.

Notes: 0xD33 is not a unique identifier by itself; it denotes a single hexadecimal value that can have different meanings depending on encoding, data structure, or protocol. It is distinct from color notation in CSS, where a similar-looking value without the 0x prefix (for example, #D33) is used as a shorthand color specification that expands differently.
