100100001100

100100001100 is a twelve-bit binary numeral. When converted to decimal, it equals 2316, and its hexadecimal representation is 0x90C (the bits grouped as 1001 0000 1100 map to 9 0 C).

The value contains four set bits, giving it a Hamming weight of 4. The set bits occur at positions 11, 8, 3, and 2 if one counts the least significant bit as position 0. This makes the number useful in contexts that rely on bit flags or masks.

In practical computing contexts, patterns like this can serve as bitmasks to enable or test specific features or options, with each set bit representing a distinct flag. Depending on the surrounding data format or protocol, the same bit pattern might be used for purposes such as parts of an identifier, a small payload, or control information within a larger binary structure.
