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.
That is, the value of an octal "10" is the same as a decimal "8", an octal "20" is a decimal "16", and so on. In a hexadecimal system, there are 16 digits, 0 through 9 followed, by convention, with A through F. That is, a hexadecimal "10" is the same as a decimal "16" and a hexadecimal "20" is the same as a decimal "32".
In computer science, an integer literal is a kind of literal for an integer whose value is directly represented in source code.For example, in the assignment statement x = 1, the string 1 is an integer literal indicating the value 1, while in the statement x = 0x10 the string 0x10 is an integer literal indicating the value 16, which is represented by 10 in hexadecimal (indicated by the 0x prefix).
Using all numbers and all letters except I and O; the smallest base where 1 / 2 terminates and all of 1 / 2 to 1 / 18 have periods of 4 or shorter. 35 Covers the ten decimal digits and all letters of the English alphabet, apart from not distinguishing 0 from O.
Although there is no official standard, today most devices displaying hex digits use the unique forms shown to the right: uppercase A, lowercase b, uppercase C, lowercase d, uppercase E and F. [5] To avoid ambiguity between the digit 6 and the letter b the digit 6 is displayed with segment A lit. [2] [6] [7] [8] [9]
Hextet would more properly describe a 6-bit aggregation, whereas the exact term for 16 bits should be hexadectet, directly related to the term octet (for 8 bits). However, because it is harder to pronounce, the short form hextet is used—in analogy to how hex is commonly used as an abbreviation for hexadecimal in computing.

The value of a function, given the value(s) assigned to its argument(s), is the quantity assumed by the function for these argument values. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] For example, if the function f is defined by f ( x ) = 2 x 2 – 3 x + 1 , then assigning the value 3 to its argument x yields the function value 10, since f (3) = 2·3 2 – 3·3 + 1 = 10 .
