An 8-bit variable is used to store the decimal value 14?

An 8-bit variable is used to store the decimal value 14. What are :





(i) the hexadecimal representation of the number;


(ii) the binary representation of the number.





Can anyone help me understand this?|||The binary of 14 is


1110


That is 4 bits.


So in 8 bits that will be


0000 1110


The hex of that will be


0e


or


0E


which ever you prefer.





Have fun.|||The homework question is testing your understanding of the binary and hexadecimal number bases, both of which are quintessential to the way computers work:





Hex is: 0E


Binary is: 00001110|||Hexadecimal: 0E


Decimal: 00001110
