How hexadecimal conversion use in computer?

Hexadecimal conversion is widely used in computing as a more human-friendly representation of binary data. Each hexadecimal digit corresponds to four binary digits (bits), making it easier to read and write large binary numbers. It is commonly employed in programming, memory addressing, and color codes in web design, where compactness and clarity are essential. Additionally, hexadecimal is used in debugging and understanding low-level data structures and machine code.

A series of 4 bits is called a "nibble." In computing, a nibble can represent 16 different values (from 0 to 15) and is often used in conjunction with bytes, which consist of 8 bits. Nibbles are commonly used in hexadecimal representation, where each nibble corresponds to a single hexadecimal digit.


What are the advantage of hexadecimal numbering system?

Each hexadecimal digit represents four binary digits (bits) (also called a "nibble"), and the primary use of hexadecimal notation is as a human-friendly representation of values in computing and digital electronics. For example, binary coded byte values can range from 0 to 255 (decimal) but may be more conveniently represented as two hexadecimal digits in the range 00 through FF. Hexadecimal is also commonly used to represent computer memory adresses.


What is a hexdecimal system?

That is "hexadecimal". The decimal system we often used is based on powers of 10 (each place-value is worth 10 times as much as the one to the right); the hexadecimal system is based on powers of 16, and therefore needs 16 different digits. The "digits" commonly used are the digits 0-9, the "A" for 10, "B" for 11, ... "F" for 15.This is commonly used in computers, as a sort of shorthand for writing binary (base-2) numbers.


Who invented hexadecimal and when?

The first use of the term hexadecimal dates to 1954. It is unclear who invented the current hexadecimal notation - most likely IBM. Not all computers used hexadecimal until the end of the 70s or later. Hewlett-Packard continued to use octal instead of hexadecimal until after 1980.
