what is hex values?

Answer 1

as far as i know its base 8 computer code. with binary you have two values 0 and 1, with base 8 you have 8 values.

Answer 2

Hex is short for hexadecimal, and they are numbers in the base of 16. The digits are the usual 0, plus 1 to 9, then A to F.

Apart from being used by any aliens with 8 fingers on each hand, they are used in computing, as a convenient way to express otherwise long binary numbers.

Hex numbers also have other advantages - in hex, my age is only 33!

Answer 3

Not sure what you mean but if you mean Hexadecimal values then this is a base 16 number system, unlike the decimal system which uses 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 as the basis to form its numbers, the Hexadecimal system uses 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F.
so 500 in decimal is 1F4 in hex and 17 is 11.
There are also other bases for numbers including binary which is base 2 (using only 0 and 1)
The Microsoft calculator on most computers can convert these numbers to different forms by selecting scientific in the view bar.

Answer 4

hex values are values that are given to registry entries so as to make them usable within a operating system
for example there is a graphic hack were you go to nvidias regisrtry entry and add a dword called "coolbits and then give it a hex value of 3
when you have saved this to the registry editor(regedit) you will then find a overclocking tool on your nvidia control panel,however this tool was allready built into the nvidia drivers but needed activating using the registry
so hex values are registry values

Answer 5

Where do you see it?
Hex is another base of a number. Our number is base 10. Hex is base 16.
base 10(Decimal) base 16(Hexadecimal)
1 1
10 A
13 D
15 F

Answer 6

Numbers to the base 16. so that you go 1-9,a,b,c,d,e,f with A to F representing 10-15.

It's convinient for programmers in that base 2 numbers (1s & 0s) can be represented more easily.

So 1111 in binary which 15 in decimal (base 10) is F in base 16 - hexadecimal

Answer 7

Humans only work in base 10, decimal, (think back to primary school and place values) because of the number of fingers and toes we have.
Reasonably large numbers can be represented with few digits.
Digital computers work in base 2 (binary). A large number needs an incomprehensibly large number of 0s and 1s. It is also quite difficult to convert between decimal and binary.
Hexadecimal may not be intuitive but it is easy to convert to binary and displays even bigger numbers in few digits/characters.
Try it in Microsoft's calculator (Scientific view).
e.g. 123,456 = 11110001001000000 = 1E240
