For types 2 (byte string) and 3 (text string), the count is the length of the payload. For types 4 (array) and 5 (map), the count is the number of items (pairs) in the payload. For type 6 (tag), the payload is a single item and the count is a numeric tag number which describes the enclosed item.
Hexadecimal (also known as base-16 or simply hex) is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent values 0 to 9 and "A"–"F" to represent values from ten to fifteen.

Many computer languages require that a hexadecimal number be marked with a prefix or suffix (or both) to identify it as a number. Sometimes the prefix or suffix is used as part of the word. The C programming language uses the "0x" prefix to indicate a hexadecimal number, but the "0x" is usually ignored when people read such values as words.
GMP is used for integer arithmetic in many computer algebra systems such as Mathematica [9] and Maple. [10] It is also used in the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library (CGAL). GMP is needed to build the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). [11]
The meaning of "small enough" depends on the size of the type that is used as the hashed value. For example, in Java, the hash code is a 32-bit integer. Thus the 32-bit integer Integer and 32-bit floating-point Float objects can simply use the value directly, whereas the 64-bit integer Long and 64-bit floating-point Double cannot.
With the example in view, a number of details can be discussed. The most important is the choice of the representation of the big number. In this case, only integer values are required for digits, so an array of fixed-width integers is adequate. It is convenient to have successive elements of the array represent higher powers of the base.
For example: int a[2][3]; This means that array a has 2 rows and 3 columns, and the array is of integer type. Here we can store 6 elements they will be stored linearly but starting from first row linear then continuing with second row. The above array will be stored as a 11, a 12, a 13, a 21, a 22, a 23.
