0xa98

0xA98 is a hexadecimal numeral commonly used in computing to denote a numeric value. The prefix 0x signals that the digits that follow are expressed in base 16 rather than decimal.

As a hex value, 0xA98 corresponds to the decimal number 2712. In binary, it is represented by 1010 1001 1000, which can be padded to 0000 1010 1001 1000 for a 16-bit display. Because it uses three hexadecimal digits, it represents a 12-bit quantity and can be extended with additional digits in larger numeric contexts.

In programming languages that support hexadecimal literals, such as C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Python, 0xA98 evaluates to the integer 2712. It may appear in source code as a constant, or as part of bitwise operations, masks, or other low-level computations. In some data representations and memory dumps, similar hex values can appear as addresses or constants, though their exact meaning depends on the surrounding context and the system's architecture.

Because hexadecimal values are often written with uppercase or lowercase letters interchangeably, 0xA98 is functionally equivalent to 0xa98 in most environments. When used in documentation or data tables, consistency in letter case helps avoid misinterpretation.
