0xE

0xE is the hexadecimal representation of the decimal number 14. The prefix 0x is commonly used in programming to indicate that the digits following it are in base 16 rather than base 10. In hexadecimal notation, the digits 0 through 9 represent values 0–9, and the letters A through F (case-insensitive) represent values 10–15; thus the single digit E denotes 14.

In many programming languages, 0xE is a valid numeric literal that evaluates to 14. Languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python use this convention. Hex literals like 0xE are frequently employed in bitwise operations, masks, and settings where small, precise values are required, especially when dealing with 8-, 16-, or 32-bit quantities. For example, 0xE can appear as part of a larger value such as 0x0E or 0xE0, each representing different bit patterns.

Hex notation also appears in other contexts, including color specifications and memory dumps. In color codes, individual nibbles or bytes may be written in hex, though many formats use full hex triplets or RGBA values. In strings or binary data, hexadecimal escapes such as \x0E or \u000E may be used to denote the same numeric value.

Overall, 0xE is a concise way to express the value 14 in hexadecimal form. Its interpretation is language- and context-dependent, but it is widely understood in computing as a base-16 literal.
