10000100010010

10000100010010 is a fourteen-digit sequence composed of binary digits. In computing contexts, such bit strings can serve as binary numbers, identifiers, masks, or parts of larger bitstreams used in protocols and hardware descriptions.

As a binary number, 10000100010010_2 equals 8466 in decimal and 0x2112 in hexadecimal. This comes from summing the powers of two corresponding to the positions of the ones: 2^13 + 2^8 + 2^4 + 2^1 = 8192 + 256 + 16 + 2 = 8466.

The string contains four ones, giving it a Hamming weight of 4. The ones are located at bit positions 13, 8, 4, and 1 (counting from zero at the least significant bit). This pattern can be relevant in analyses of bit density, error-checking properties, or when the string is used as a bitmask in a larger design.

In encoding schemes, the same sequence may be interpreted differently. For example, if divided into two 7-bit blocks, it yields 1000010 and 0010010, which correspond to the ASCII7 codes 0x42 ('B') and 0x12 (a control code) respectively. This illustrates how interpretation depends on the chosen representation and context; the sequence itself is a neutral data pattern until mapped to an encoding or protocol.

Overall, 10000100010010 is a specific 14-bit binary pattern with a definite decimal and hexadecimal value and potential uses as a data field, mask, or test pattern in digital systems. See also binary numbers, hexadecimal notation, and bit manipulation.
