0xF09

0xF09 is a hexadecimal literal formed by the prefix 0x followed by the hexadecimal digits F, 0 and 9. In programming and digital contexts, the 0x prefix signals that the digits that follow are written in base-16 rather than decimal.

Numerical value and representation: In decimal, 0xF09 equals 3849. In binary, it is 1111 0000 1001 (12 bits). The representation can vary with the number of digits used; for example, adding a leading zero yields 0x0F09, which is numerically the same value but formatted with an extra hex digit.

Common uses and contexts: In many programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript, 0xF09 is a valid integer literal that can participate in arithmetic, bitwise operations, or appear as a constant in code. In web development, a color shorthand uses the format #F09 to denote a color (expands to #FF0099), but that notation uses a different syntax and base than 0xF09. In blockchain contexts, addresses typically begin with 0x and are followed by 40 hex characters; therefore 0xF09 by itself is not a valid address but may appear as part of logs or truncated data.

Considerations: Hexadecimal values are case-insensitive in most contexts, so 0xF09 can be written with lowercase or uppercase letters. When interpreting 0xF09, it is important to distinguish between its role as a numeric constant in code, a potential fragment of a larger identifier, or a formatting artifact in different domains.
