Hex converter

A hex converter is a tool or program that is used to convert between different representations of numbers, particularly between decimal (base-10) and hexadecimal (base-16) representations. In the context of computing and programming, hexadecimal is commonly used to represent binary-coded values because it provides a more human-readable and concise format.

Here's a brief explanation of decimal and hexadecimal systems:

• Decimal (Base-10): The standard numbering system we use in everyday life. It uses digits 0-9, and each position in a number represents a power of 10. For example, the decimal number 253 is represented as (2 * 10^2) + (5 * 10^1) + (3 * 10^0).

• Hexadecimal (Base-16): A base-16 numbering system that uses digits 0-9 and the letters A-F to represent values 10-15. Each position in a hexadecimal number represents a power of 16. For example, the hexadecimal number 1A3 is represented as (1 * 16^2) + (10 * 16^1) + (3 * 16^0).

A hex converter allows you to convert numbers between these two systems. You can find online hex converters, calculators, or use programming languages that provide functions for conversion, such as JavaScript's parseInt and toString functions, or Python's hex and int functions.
