What are the codes doing?

What are the following codes doing? What are the meaning of & 0xffe00000, &
3, 0xf, 0x3?
Is there any difference between & 3 and & 0x3?

inline BOOL CheckAudioHeader(DWORD dwHeader)
{
if ( (dwHeader & 0xffe00000) != 0xffe00000)
return FALSE;
if (!((dwHeader >> 17) & 3))
return FALSE;
if ( ((dwHeader >> 12) & 0xf) == 0xf)
return FALSE;
if ( ((dwHeader >> 10) & 0x3) == 0x3)
return FALSE;

#ifdef _WIN32_WCE
if ( ((dwHeader >> 12) & 0xf) == 0x0)
return FALSE;
#endif

return TRUE;
}

Thanks

Let me guess: a MPEG audio (MP3) header check?
Hexadecimal numbers are prefixed by 0x. And you are right hexadecimal 3
equals decimal 3. 0xffe00000 represents a hexadecimal number with the 11
most significant bits set. The header of every MPEG audio frame always
start with at least 11 ones. So that is what the first if is for. The bit
fields that follow in an MPEG header never have all bits set, and that is
what is being checked in the if's that follow.

Hi!

These are hexadecimal numbers. 3 == 0x3 but this is no longer true if
numbers get larger than nine. 10 == 0xa, 11 == 0xb, ..., 15 == 0xf,
16 == 0x10, 17 == 0x11, 18 == 0x12, ..., 21 == 0x1f and so on.

Bye,

Thank you very much~
This function is actually for checking MP3 frame header!
