Hexadecimal and binary system?
Hi everyone
Where can the binary and hexadecimal systems be found? In which application areas or programs? I need 4 for each one. But I already have a few

IPv6 addresses are represented in hexadecimal.
Machine code is usually represented in hex.
However, the question is quite vague.
Hex is used only for better representation, behind it there is always a binary number
Computers normally work with the binary system and hexadecimal is just a representation for the binary system that is easier to convert than the decimal system.
If there are only two possibilities in each case, you can summarize them into a number using the binary system, eg, a power set, where you can choose any number of elements from {a, b, c, d}. Then you can represent each selection as a number, eg, the selection {a, c, d} is 1011 in the binary system. There are two possibilities in each case: something is contained in the subset and something is not.
In IT everywhere, because the data we can read cannot be processed by machines.
The computer needs binary and hexadecimal values internally in order to be able to store, write, process and read data.
These values are present on all data storage devices. Programs are compiled and stored in binary format so they can be executed at all.
