    The prefix 0x (as well as 0X) tells the compiler that the characters
    that follow are a hexadecimal constant.

      In C as in C++ (the actual topic of this newsgroup), the syntax 0x
      followed by a hexadecimal digit (or digits) denotes a hexadecimal
      literal - a number written in the notation base 16. Similarly, if
      there is no 'x' after the leading 0, it's an octal literal, and if
      the number does not start with 0, it's a decimal literal.

      In your case 0xff is 0377 or 255, 0xaa is 0252 or 170.
