1001100000

1001100000 is a binary numeral consisting of ten bits. In base-2 notation, each position represents a power of two, with the rightmost bit equal to 2^0. The pattern has 1s in the 2^9, 2^6, and 2^5 positions, corresponding to 512, 64, and 32. Therefore, as an unsigned integer, 1001100000 equals 512 + 64 + 32 = 608. In hexadecimal, this value is 0x260.

When interpreted as a ten-bit two's-complement signed integer, the leading bit denotes a negative value, giving -416 for this pattern (since 1001100000 equals 608 in unsigned form, and 608 − 1024 = −416 in ten-bit two's complement). This dual interpretation is common for binary patterns used in computing, where the same bit sequence can represent different values depending on the chosen numeric format.

In terms of bit patterns, 1001100000 can function as a partial bit mask, with bits 9, 6, and 5 set. Such patterns are often used in low-level programming, digital logic, and data encoding to indicate flags or small fields within larger data structures.

Without context, 1001100000 is simply a binary representation of the number 608 in unsigned form, or −416 in ten-bit two's complement. It serves as an example of how binary strings map to numeric values and how interpretation hinges on the chosen bit-width and encoding scheme.
