Hex format is a type of numerical representation that uses a base-16 numbering system, consisting of 16 digits from 0 to 9 and A to F, where the letters A to F represent decimal values 10 to 15. It is widely used in computing to represent binary data in a human-readable form. Each byte of binary data is converted into two hexadecimal digits in this format, which allows for better visualization and manipulation of binary data. For example, the binary sequence 01100001 01100010 01100011 can be represented in hex format as 616263, where each pair of digits corresponds to one byte of binary data. Hex format is also used in computer programming to represent memory addresses and other numerical values, as it provides better readability and avoids confusion with other numerical values.
