Hexidecimal is a number system to the base
16, used in computing. In hex (as it is
commonly known) 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.
