0xF4F

0xF4F is a hexadecimal integer literal used in many programming languages. The 0x prefix denotes base-16. The digits F, 4, F form the value 0xF4F, which equals decimal 3919. In binary it is 1111 0100 1111. The literal can be used anywhere an integer constant is allowed, such as in assignments, arithmetic expressions, array indices, or bitwise operations. Some languages also permit it in numeric literals in array initializers, switch-case labels, or as part of memory addresses.

When interpreted as a 12-bit value with four bits per color channel (red, green, blue), 0xF4F corresponds to red=0xF, green=0x4, blue=0xF. Important: this interpretation is context-dependent; many systems use 24-bit or higher color representations. If expanded to 24-bit color by scaling each channel to 8 bits, the color would be RGB(255,68,255), or hex color #FF44FF in common 24-bit color notation.

In software development, hex literals like 0xF4F appear in low-level programming, debugging, shader code, firmware, and configuration files where precise bit patterns matter. The prefix 0x is standard in languages derived from C, including C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Solidity; other ecosystems use different notations.
