1011111100

1011111100 is a binary numeral consisting of ten digits. In base-2, it represents a specific bit pattern rather than a single abstract value on its own; its interpretation depends on width and context.

As an unsigned 10-bit value, 1011111100 equals 764 in decimal (computing from 2^9 + 2^7 + 2^6 + 2^5 + 2^4 + 2^3 + 2^2). In hexadecimal, the same bit sequence corresponds to 0x2FC (when grouped with leading zeros as needed, for example as 0010 1111 1100).

If interpreted as a signed 10-bit two's complement number, the bit string represents -68. This follows from inverting the bits and adding one to obtain the magnitude, yielding 68, and applying the negative sign due to the most significant bit being 1.

Width and interpretation matter when mapping binary strings to numerical values. Padding with leading zeros changes grouping for hex or byte-aligned representations but not the underlying bit pattern. In practical computing contexts, such patterns can serve as unsigned integers, small identifiers, or bit masks, depending on the chosen width and interpretation.
