Hexadecimal
Why is Hexadecimal used?
Because of our human limitations
We can't memorise large binary values
We would probably mess up
But computers have limitations too
They only understand binary not hex
so computers have to be programmed to be able to convert hex to binary
Simplified to hex notations
less space for mistakes
In short, it is easier for us to understand!
How to convert between Hex and binary
to convert:
Make a table
In hex the values go up by powers of 16
4096 --- 256 --- 16 --- 1
Put the hex values into the table
Then multiply
hex to denary
Why?
Converting is very important
Since a computer can't understand hex
