101101010

101101010 is a binary numeral consisting of nine bits. In base-2 notation, it represents the integer 362. In hexadecimal, the same value is 0x16A. The string ends with a 0, so its value is even. The bit pattern includes a single occurrence of two adjacent ones (the substring 11 in the middle).

As a non-byte-aligned bitstring, 101101010 is commonly used in educational contexts to illustrate binary-to-decimal conversion, bitwise operations, and digital logic concepts. It is not associated with a standard character encoding such as ASCII or UTF-8, which typically rely on 7- or 8-bit units. In computer science practice, such 9-bit patterns may appear as test vectors for logic circuits, parity calculations, or data integrity checks, and can be manipulated with shifts and masks to demonstrate how bit patterns change under basic operations.
