Of or pertaining to a number system having 16 as its base; SYN. hex.
Refers to a base sixteen number system using the characters 0 through 9 and A through F to represent the values. Machine language programs are often written in hexadecimal notation.
Using 16 rather than 10 as the base for representing numbers. The hexadecimal system uses the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F (uppercase or lowercase) to represent the decimal numbers 0 through 15. One hexadecimal digit is equivalent to 4 bits, and 1 byte can be expressed by two hexadecimal digits. For example, binary 0101 0011 corresponds to hexadecimal 53. To prevent confusion with decimal numbers, hexadecimal numbers in programs or documentation are usually followed by H or preceded by and, $, or 0x. Thus, 10H = decimal 16; 100H = decimal 162 = decimal 256. Equivalents and conversion tables for binary, decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers are given in Appendix E. Also called: hex.

Množina: hexadecimal number systems

Or hex; Number system to the base 16, used in computing. In hex the decimal numbers 0–15 are represented by the characters 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F.
Hexadecimal numbers are easy to convert to the computer's internal binary code and are more compact than binary numbers.
Each place in a number increases in value by a power of 16 going from right to left; for instance, 8F is equal to 15 + (8 x 16) = 143 in decimal. Hexadecimal numbers are often preferred by programmers writing in low-level languages because they are more easily converted to the computer's internal binary (base-two) code than are decimal numbers, and because they are more compact than binary numbers and therefore more easily keyed, checked, and memorized.
A positional system of numeration that uses hexadecimal digits and a radix of 16; SYN. sexadecimal number system, hexadecimal system.
