Hi All,

I hate to be a bother here, but I really want to learn more about all of this and try to do research before asking silly questions etc. in the forum. I think I need to have a better understanding of hexadecimal code. I tried looking for assembler tutorials as advised but only managed to find that Auto Assembler thingy.

I remember in the past, I always saw Hexadecimal Code written as a value between 00000000 and FFFFFFFF with 0 - F representing the numbers 0 - 15. I understand that 00000010 = 16, 00000100 = 256 etc. I have never seen it written as 0x0000 before.

I tried Googling it and searching the forum too. I didn't have much luck though. Do you know of any tutorials out there teaching how to read this number format?

Thanks for your help and patience.

If I say that a pointer has an offset of 10 does it mean 10 (decimal) or 16?
To avoid that kind of ambiguity we (often) prefix hex numbers with 0x but whatever follows is read exactly like you're used to.
Historically it comes from C/C++ where you use the 0x prefix to indicate that the number just after is in hexadecimal.

Oh wow that's great! Very Happy

Now I fully understand what you meant by 0x800. Thanks again!

As an addendum, C/C++ also support the h suffix to denote base 16, eg "13h".

@justa_dude: My visual studio 2008 doesn't understand 13h in C/C++ code. What compiler / VS version are you using?
