本文解释了使用十六进制数的原因：它能更简洁地表示二进制数，减少显示错误的机会，便于阅读理解，并有助于程序调试。文章还列举了十六进制数在MAC地址、Web颜色定义、内存转储及汇编语言等领域的应用。
Why hexadecimal numbers are needed?
When there is a need to display/write/read a binary number, we have to write/read/understand a bunch of 0s and 1s. It's tedious and error-prone.
A hexadecimal equivalent of a binary number is much shorter. 4 bits are written as a single hexadecimal digit. So roughly, a hexadecimal number is only 1/4 length of its equivalent binary number.
The benefits of hexadecimal numbers
- Less space is needed to display/show hexadecimal numbers on screen.
- Less chance of making errors.
- Easier to read/write/understand.
- Easier to identify errors of/debug a program.
The applications of hexadecimal numbers
- MAC addresses
- Web addresses
- Memory dumps
- Web colors in HTML
- Assembly code and machine code
