• At their fundamental level, computers use a numeral system whose digits consist of only
two possible values. These digits can either be zeros or ones.
• This system is known as Binary. It may seem limiting at first, but any number can be
represented in Binary. In most cases, you simply need more zeros and ones.
• Binary consists of two numerical digits and is known as base 2. Decimal consists of ten
digits and is known as base 10. Hexadecimal contains sixteen digits and is therefore
known as Base 16.
• Binary uses the zero and one not unlike decimal. Hexadecimal does as well, but is a
superset of decimal. This means it uses the same digits as decimal (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
plus six more additional digits : A,B,C,D,E, and F.
NUMERAL SYSTEM
• A numeral system (or system of numeration) is a writing system for expressing numbers;
that is, a mathematical notation for representing numbersof a given set, using digits or
other symbols in a consistent manner. It can be seen as the context that allows the symbols
"11" to be interpreted as the binarysymbol for three, the decimal symbol for eleven, or a
symbol for other numbers in different bases.
• Another benefit of hex (hexadecimal) is realized when a programmer is faced with sifting through a
lot of data. It is easier for the human eye to find a particular hex value than it is to find a matching
pattern containing a long string of zeros and ones (binary).
• Arguably the most common use of hexadecimal notation today comes in the form of describing color
online using what is known as Webhex. We will be releasing an article describing Webhex in the near
future. It will help to demonstrate how to use a pair of hexadecimal digits to represent one byte
(which may contain up to 3 decimal digits).
