HEX$ Function
Purpose:
To return a string which represents the hexadecimal value of the numeric argument.
Syntax:
v$=HEX$(x)
Comments:
HEX$ converts decimal values within the range of -32768 to +65535 into a hexadecimal string
expression within the range of 0 to FFFF.
Hexadecimal numbers are numbers to the base 16, rather than base 10 (decimal numbers).
Appendix C and Appendix G in the GW-BASIC User's Guide contain more information on
hexadecimals and their equivalents.
x is rounded to an integer before HEX$(x) is evaluated. See the OCT$ function for octal
conversions.
If x is negative, 2's (binary) complement form is used.
Examples:
10 CLS: INPUT "INPUT DECIMAL NUMBER";X
20 A$=HEX$(X)
30 PRINT X "DECIMAL IS "A$" HEXADECIMAL"
RUN
INPUT DECIMAL NUMBER? 32
32 DECIMAL IS 20 HEXADECIMAL
