binarytohexdecimal
Binary to hexadecimal conversion is the process of converting a binary number, expressed in base 2, into its hexadecimal representation, base 16. In hexadecimal, each digit represents four binary bits, using digits 0-9 and letters A-F. Because of this one-to-four bit correspondence, converting binary to hexadecimal is straightforward and exact for unsigned values.
Method: To convert, pad the binary string on the left with zeros so its length is a
Example: Binary 11010111 becomes D7, since 1101 maps to D and 0111 maps to 7. Another example:
Special cases: If the binary value is signed in two's complement, the resulting hex string represents the
Applications: The technique is widely used in computing, digital electronics, debugging memory dumps, and data encoding,
