HEXADECIMAL

A numbering system which uses a base of 16.The first ten digits are 0-9 and the next six are A-F.The latter A,for example,represents the decimal number 10. A byte( 8 bits of data ) is often represented by two hexadecimal numbers.The hexadecimal values can range from 00 to FF or from decimal 0 to 255.Hexadecimal values are often differentiated from decimal by either following them with the letter h or preceding them with an angle bracket,for example 33h or>0B.Hexadecimal numbers have many applications in computer programming,and they are frequently used in RGB(RED/GREEN/BLUE) color coding for web pages.For example, the hexadecimal equivalent for White is #FFFFFF.
