10000100011

10000100011 is an eleven-bit binary numeral. It is composed solely of the digits 0 and 1, and is often used to represent small integers or bit patterns in digital systems. When read as an unsigned binary value, the sequence equals 1059 in decimal, and corresponds to the hexadecimal value 0x423.

Interpreting the same bit pattern as a signed integer in two's-complement form with eleven bits yields -989,

Because 11-bit representations are not standard word sizes in most architectures, the exact meaning of 10000100011
