0xDE4

0xDE4 is a hexadecimal literal commonly used in computing to denote the decimal number 3556. In hex notation, the prefix 0x signals base-16; the digits D (13) and E (14) followed by 4 yield the calculation 13×256 + 14×16 + 4 = 3556.

In programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and Python, 0xDE4 represents an integer value and can participate in arithmetic, comparisons, and bitwise operations. Hex literals are widely used to specify constants, masks, and addresses due to their convenient alignment with binary values and memory structures.

When appearing in source code, 0xDE4 is typically interpreted as the unsigned or signed integer 3556, depending on the context and data type. It may also be used in debugging outputs, memory dumps, or configuration files where hexadecimal notation is preferred for readability of binary data.

0xDE4 is not a standard color code on its own; hex color values in web design are typically six-digit, such as #RRGGBB, or shorthand six- or three-digit forms. As a value, 0xDE4 is more commonly encountered as a numeric constant rather than a color specification, unless extended in a specific application’s encoding scheme.
