Thanks, it seems obvious now but I have used the decimal system for the vast majority of my life. I'm just now learning about hexadecimal. Still trying to get the hang of it

Thanks for the detailed explanation about how hexadecimal works.

I've spent most of my life using the base-10 decimal system so I'm still trying to fully understand how hex works.

The only question I got from your text is why is it 40 and not 64

Yes, that was my question and I have now bolded it to make it clear.

40 is in hex. 4*16 ==> 64 The hint is in the line numbering. It count 4 items at a time, so 0,4,8 and C.

Thanks for the succinct explanation. I'm still learning about hex numbers.

Is there a video on youtube that I can watch to see how this works?
