I have calulated 300 bps as 12c (by calculator)

But the answer is 0x0000012c, why does the calculator not give this?

I'd expect 0000012c

The correct answer is approximately

0x0000000000000000000012C.0000000000000000

I have no idea why you are expressing bits per second in hexadecimal.

But just as in decimal, leading zeroes in hex are optional.

2 + 2 = 4, or 04, or 000000000004, or however you want to write it.

In unix, and the C language I think, 0x0... is the standard prefix for a
hex number. Not quite sure what your question is.

Calculators don't usually show leading zeros.

I'm suprised you didn't get 454, or 100101100.

That would be 0454 or O454. It looks to me like the OP doesn't
realize that 0x means hex.

Cheers!

If I didn't know how to do leading zero suppression, yes.

since hex is read right to left just like any other number
base why would you need the padded zero's?
the value is still the same.

Maybe he's confused by the C-ism "0x". In any of the Microsoft BASICs,
it would be &H12C, and in some assembly languages it would be 12CH.
