0xE44

0xE44 is a hexadecimal numeric literal used in computer science and software development. The prefix 0x signals that the digits following are in base-16 rather than decimal. The hexadecimal digits here are E, 4, and 4. As a hex value, 0xE44 equals decimal 3652, since E (14) times 256 plus 4 times 16 plus 4 equals 3652.

In programming languages such as C, C++, JavaScript, Java, and Python, 0xE44 is treated as an integer constant. Its exact interpretation depends on the language, the data type, and the operations performed (arithmetic, bitwise, shifts, masks). It may be used as a constant offset, a bit mask, or part of a larger composite value.

0xE44 is not a standalone standard designation for a widely recognized entity. It is not an Ethereum address, which requires 40 hexadecimal digits, nor a standard CSS color code, which uses the # notation. In documentation and examples, 0xE44 may simply serve as a compact illustrative value.

Hexadecimal literals like 0xE44 illustrate how base-16 encoding compactly represents binary data, with each hex digit encoding four bits. Comparisons with other bases, such as decimal (base 10) and binary (base 2), help in tasks such as bitwise operations and memory addressing.
