Hexadecimal Numbers

Hexadecimal (Base-16) is a number system used heavily in computing because it provides a human-friendly way to represent binary.

It uses 16 symbols: 0-9 to represent values zero to nine, and A, B, C, D, E, F to represent values ten to fifteen.

Why use Hex?

One hexadecimal digit can exactly represent 4 binary bits. Therefore, a full 8-bit Byte can be written cleanly as just two hex characters (e.g., FF instead of 11111111).
