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.
Strings are represented in C literal style: "This is a plist string\n"; simpler, unquoted strings are allowed as long as they consist of alphanumericals and one of _$+/:.-. Binary data are represented as: < [hexadecimal codes in ASCII] >. Spaces and comments between paired hex-codes are ignored. Arrays are represented as: ( "1", "2", "3 ...
Variable encoding length signed 64-bit: varint encoding of "ZigZag"-encoded (n << 1) XOR (n >> 63) Constant encoding length 32-bit: 32 bits in little-endian 2's complement Constant encoding length 64-bit: 64 bits in little-endian 2's complement
Thus, declaring const string testUserName = "John" is better than several occurrences of the 'magic value' "John" in a test suite. For example, if it is required to randomly shuffle the values in an array representing a standard pack of playing cards, this pseudocode does the job using the Fisher–Yates shuffle algorithm:
Octal and hexadecimal encoding are convenient ways to represent binary numbers, as used by computers. Computer engineers often need to write out binary quantities, but in practice writing out a binary number such as 1001001101010001 is tedious and prone to errors.
A string (or word [23] or expression [24]) over Σ is any finite sequence of symbols from Σ. [25] For example, if Σ = {0, 1}, then 01011 is a string over Σ. The length of a string s is the number of symbols in s (the length of the sequence) and can be any non-negative integer; it is often denoted as |s|.
Below is the data structure shown above as myQuestion encoded in DER format (all numbers are in hexadecimal): 30 13 02 01 05 16 0e 41 6e 79 62 6f 64 79 20 74 68 65 72 65 3f DER is a type–length–value encoding, so the sequence above can be interpreted, with reference to the standard SEQUENCE, INTEGER, and IA5String types, as follows:
A Data Matrix on a Mini PCI card, encoding the serial number 15C06E115AZC72983004. The most popular application for Data Matrix is marking small items, due to the code's ability to encode fifty characters in a symbol that is readable at 2 or 3 mm 2 (0.003 or 0.005 sq in) and the fact that the code can be read with only a 20% contrast ratio.
