|
|||
Hexadecimal number system is a numbering system that uses base 16. Hexa = 6 and decimal = 10, combination of 'hexa' and 'decimal' gives use the base 16 number system. The numbers in hexadecimal are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 = A, 11 = B, 12 = C, 13 = D, 14 = E and 15 = F.
|
||||
The hexadecimal number system is very useful in the field of computing like Cryptography.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding Hexadecimal Numbers:
|
||||
|
||||
Adding hex numbers are just like adding decimal with a twist.
|
||||
|
||||
Lets look at the example below:
|
||||
```
|
||||
0x14
|
||||
+0x10
|
||||
______
|
||||
0x24
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`4 + 0 = 4` and `1 + 1 = 2`. Simple, right?
|
||||
|
||||
How about when there is a carry over?
|
||||
```
|
||||
0x1A
|
||||
+ 0x1B
|
||||
_______
|
||||
0x
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`A(10) + B(11) = 21`. `21 % 16 = 5`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1
|
||||
0x1A
|
||||
+ 0x1B
|
||||
_______
|
||||
0x 5
|
||||
```
|
||||
Now, `1 + 1 + 1 = 3`. Thus,
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1
|
||||
0x1A
|
||||
+ 0x1B
|
||||
_______
|
||||
0x35
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When there is a carry over in hex (meaning two numbers adding together is greater than 15), mod the number by 16 and carry a one over.
|
||||
This is analogous to the decimal system.
