Briefly describe the hexadecimal numbering system, including the digits it uses to represent values.

What will be an ideal response?


A hexadecimal numbering system uses base 16 for representing numbers - that would be 0-15 (in base 10 values). Contrast this with the more common decimal numbering system, numbered 0-9. Just as with decimal, people who work with hexadecimal need a single character to represent each number for the 16 values. Using 0-9 makes sense, but then hex is represented in letter form for the values 10-15 (A, B, C, D, E, F).
