0xD59

0xD59 is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in computing and digital systems. The 0x prefix denotes base-16, and the value D59 corresponds to the decimal number 3417. This kind of notation is widely used in programming languages to express numeric constants succinctly.

In programming contexts, 0xD59 is treated as a numeric constant and can participate in arithmetic, bitwise operations, or memory-related calculations depending on the surrounding code. For example, in C or C++, a variable can be initialized as int a = 0xD59; in Python, you can write a = 0xD59; and in JavaScript, let a = 0xD59;. The exact meaning of the value depends on how it is used in expressions or data structures.

Because 0xD59 consists of three hex digits, it represents a 12-bit value (ranging from 0x000 to 0xFFF). Such compact constants are common in low-level programming, including bitfields, masks, and compact encoding schemes where space or simplicity matters.

In related color notation, three-digit hexadecimal colors omit the 0x prefix and use a shorthand form. A color written as #D59 expands to #DD5599, corresponding to RGB values of (221, 85, 153). Although 0xD59 itself is not a color code, the same digit sequence appears in both hex literals and color shorthand, illustrating how hexadecimal digits map to different domains.

Overall, 0xD59 is best understood as a hexadecimal numeric literal whose decimal value is 3417, used within appropriate programming contexts and interpreted according to its syntactic role in the surrounding language. It is not associated with a specific standard, project, or entity beyond its use as a numeric constant.
