1010100010110

1010100010110 is a binary numeral string consisting of 13 bits. As a binary number, it represents the decimal value 5398 and the hexadecimal value 0x1516. When padded to 16 bits for conventional byte-oriented representations, it becomes 0001010100010110, which corresponds to the two bytes 0x15 and 0x16; these bytes map to non-printable ASCII control characters, not standard text.

Bitwise characteristics of the string include a Hamming weight of 6, meaning six bits are set to 1 and seven are 0. The pattern features a short run of three consecutive zeros in the middle and begins with alternating ones and zeros before that yield. The sequence is not a palindrome, and its parity is even.

In various contexts, 13-bit sequences are used in digital design and communications where non-standard bit widths arise, such as certain hardware registers or compact encoding schemes. While 1010100010110 does not align with common text encodings or fixed-width ASCII, it serves as a representative example of an irregular-length bitstring and can be used in demonstrations of binary arithmetic, bit masking, or pattern-based testing.
