Introduction to Hexadecimal and Binary system
The hexadecimal (hex) numbering system is base 16, meaning that there are 16 different digits, 0-9 and A-F. In the hex system, each digit represents a number from 0-15. For example, the hex number A7 represents the number 107 (1*16^3 + 7*16^2).
The binary (bin) numbering system is base 2, meaning that there are only two different digits, 0 and 1. In the bin system, each digit represents a number from 0-1. For example, the bin number 1101 represents the number 13 (1*2^3 + 1*2^2).
Binary Number System
Binary number system is a number system that uses only two digits, 0 and 1. In binary, every number is represented by a combination of 0s and 1s. For example, the number 12 can be represented as:
1
0
1
The number 12 can also be represented as:
1100

Hexadecimal Numbers
A hexadecimal number is a number that uses hexadecimal digits. Hexadecimal digits are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F. Hexadecimal numbers are written with a leading 0x.
The number 1234 is written as 0x1234 in hexadecimal.
The number -5678 is written as 0xffff in hexadecimal.
Conversion of Hexadecimal to Binary
To convert hexadecimal to binary, divide the hexadecimal number by 16, and take the integer part of the result.
