The simple approach is to store the numbers as ASCII. Great for processing since they are probably in ASCII already. If they aren’t, you just add 30 hex to each digit and you are done.

ASCII Decimal, ASCII Hex, or Unicodes? Notice that all of the Alt codes in the charts above are represented by numbers; for example, the White Queen is Alt+ 9813.

While the decimal numbering system allows any digit in a number to have any of ten values (0-9), digits in hexadecimal numbers can have 16 (0-F), digits in octal numbers only eight (0-7) and ...

It is consistent between ASCII and EBCDIC platforms. Note that the S370FPDU format and informat expects to have an F in the last nibble, while packed decimal expects no sign nibble. Zoned Decimal Data ...

Let's take the example further, and convert each hexadecimal digit to its decimal equivalent and then add them: (16 2 x 1) + (16 0 x 15) + (16 0 x 4) = (256 + 240 + 4) = 500. Hex and binary in action.

You will see Hex (Hexadecimal), Dec (Decimal), Oct (Octal) and Bin (Binary) radio buttons. These are used for converting numbers between these numbering systems.

Understanding how to calculate file sizes helps to estimate how much storage is needed to save files such as images, music and documents. ASCII uses 7 bits per character, giving a character set of ...
