BAC10=

11 * 16 *16 *16*16

+10 *16*16*16

+12*16*16

+1*16*16

+0*16

=Result in decimal

 

This is the long way of doing it though, cant remember the shorter way

 

A=10

B=11 etc for above.

Eeek, just realized that I messed that up a little. I added an extra *16 to the last two lines that should not be there. That will teach me to count correctly next time it should be:

BAC10=

11 * 16 *16 *16*16

+10 *16*16*16

+12*16*16

+1*16

+0

=Result in decimal

 

Sorry about that.

After years of programming in hex I can remember the decimal and ASCII equivalent of everything from 32 to 255, and all the key memory locations in hex of the Sinclair Spectrum!
