0xE82

0xE82 is a hexadecimal numeral used in computing to denote the numeric value 3714 in decimal. In hexadecimal notation, digits are based on base 16, and the prefix 0x is a common convention in many programming languages such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python to indicate that the following digits form a base-16 value. The literal 0xE82 comprises the digits E, 8, and 2, where E represents 14. Its binary representation is 1110 1000 0010.

In a variety of contexts, 0xE82 can serve as a numeric constant, an offset, a memory address, or a bitmask, depending on the surrounding code and the architecture involved. Hex values are often preferred for expressing binary data and hardware-related values because each hexadecimal digit corresponds to four binary bits, enabling concise representation of bit patterns. For instance, in low-level programming or firmware, 0xE82 might appear as part of an address or as a component of a larger mask or flag field.

As a general concept, 0xE82 illustrates how hexadecimal literals function across programming environments. It does not carry an intrinsic meaning beyond its numeric value and the typical uses of hex notation; any specific interpretation arises from the context in which it appears, such as the registers, memory map, or data structures being manipulated.
