Hex is short for hexadecimal, also known as base 16. Useful if you work programming computers.

Basically you count in units, then multiples of 16, then multiples of (16 * 16) then multiples of (16 * 16 * 16), etc . So you would count 1,2 , 3 ,4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,8 ,9 ,A ,B ,C ,D ,E ,F ,10 ,11 ,12 ,13 ,14 ,15 ,16 ,17 ,18 ,19 ,1A ,1B ,1C ,1D ,1E ,1F ,20 , etc

For x1234 is:-
4
+ 3 * 16
+ 2 * 16 * 16
+ 1 * 16 * 16 * 16

With normal counting (decimal) 1234 would be (for example):-
4
+ 3 * 10
+ 2 * 10 * 10
+ 1 * 10 * 10 * 10

Does that make sense?

Computers count in binary (ie base 2) in muliples of 8 bits normally. The maxmum value of 8 bits in binary is 11111111 which is 256 (ie, 1*1 + 1*2 + 1*4 + 1*8 + 1*16 + 1*32 + 1*64 + 1*128), which is xFF. Because of this binary and hex go together quite well, so people who progfram computers tend to get quite good at converting between them

All the best

Keith

Ooooh, i remember Hex from A-level Puting. Could do it in my head along with binary. Think I killed most of that part of my brain with excessive alcohol.
