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
Sp.
bps to hex

The correct answer is approximately
0x0000000000000000000012C.0000000000000000John
Would you also, in base 10, expect 10*10 to be 000000100?
Calculators don't usually show leading zeros.

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.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.

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

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.

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