0xD73

0xD73 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing to denote the integer value D73 in base-16. D73 in hex equals 3443 in decimal, and 110101110011 in binary. The three-digit hex form indicates a value that fits within 12 bits; in systems with larger word sizes, it is common to see it padded as 0x0D73 or longer constants.

In programming languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and many others, a literal with the 0x prefix is interpreted as an integer value. Its type is determined by the surrounding code and can participate in arithmetic, bitwise operations, or as an offset or mask in low-level code.

In practical use, 0xD73 might appear as an address offset, a small memory-mapped register constant, an error code, or a test value in sample data. It can also be part of configuration files or protocol payloads where hexadecimal notation is common. Because there is no single standard meaning attached to 0xD73 without context, its interpretation varies by application, environment, and the data format in which it appears.

In digital design, 12-bit values are used in some older microcontrollers and memory schemes; in such contexts 0xD73 would be a natural way to express a 12-bit constant. When writing or reading code that uses 0xD73, it is helpful to consider the surrounding code to determine its intended role.
