0xD97

0xD97 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computing to denote a specific integer value. The hexadecimal digits D, 9, and 7 together represent the decimal number 3479. In binary, 0xD97 corresponds to the bit pattern 110110010111. The 0x prefix signals that the digits that follow are in base 16, a convention widely used in programming and computer science.

In many programming languages, 0xD97 is interpreted directly as a constant integer with the value 3479. Examples include C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python. For instance, in Python the string 'D97' can be interpreted as hexadecimal with int('D97', 16), yielding 3479, and the value 3479 can be formatted back to hex as hex(3479), which yields '0xd97'. In JavaScript, 0xD97 is likewise parsed as the decimal number 3479.

Common uses for hex literals like 0xD97 include representing constant values, bit masks, and flags in low-level code, testing numeric boundaries, and including fixed values in configuration or protocol documentation. The literal itself does not carry a meaning beyond its numeric value; its interpretation is determined by how and where it is used within a program or system.

0xD97 is not associated with a widely recognized standard, project, or organization on its own. It serves as a typical example of a hexadecimal literal found in source code, data dumps, and technical references. See also: hexadecimal, numeric literals, bitwise operations.
