hex

• It is much easier to see that the data does not match, and the programmer can identify

  that an error has occurred.

  The benefits of using hexadecimal rather than binary for a programmer are:

  • Hexadecimal is a shorter way of representing binary, so it takes up less space on

  the computer screen or piece of paper.

  • Hexadecimal is easier for a programmer to read, write and understand.

  • Hexadecimal is easier to debug and locate errors in data.
