📚 Hexadecimal Tips & Tricks
Quick Conversion
Each hex digit represents exactly 4 binary digits (bits), making conversion between hex and binary straightforward.
Subtraction Method
When subtracting hex numbers, borrow 16 (not 10) from the next column when needed.
Addition Method
When adding hex numbers, carry over to the next column when the sum exceeds F (15 in decimal).
Programming Uses
Hex is widely used in memory addressing, color codes (e.g., #FFFFFF for white), and debugging.
Negative Values
Negative hex numbers are typically represented using two's complement notation in computing.
Prefix/Suffix
Hex numbers are often prefixed with 0x (e.g., 0x1A3) or suffixed with h (e.g., 1A3h) to distinguish them.
Note: This calculator performs hexadecimal subtraction and addition operations. For negative results in subtraction, it uses two's complement representation when applicable.
