[comp.misc] Minor question

Hi out there . . . I've seen a number of articles using a notation like
	0x0a,   0x34f2
and so forth.  From context I see that these are hexadecimal values, but what
does the  '0x' part indicate?

WOW!!
Thanks to the 0x0010 (at least) people who've directed me to K&R for 0x.
Personally I like the "dollar sign" notation better, but I can accept that
it would be repellent to those gurus at non-revenue-generating Bell Labs :-)
