Hexadecimal

A number and counting system based on 16. The digits are 0 through F. In computers, Hex numbers are derived from the binary numbers stored on disk and in RAM. The advantage of Hex is that more information can be stored in less space. Hex 00 is the same as Dec 00. However, Hex FF represents Dec 256.
