A$ = hex(n32)
B$ = hex16(n16)
C$ = hex8(n8)
Where n32 is a 32-bit ULONG, n16 is a 16-bit UINTEGER and n8 is an 8-bit UBYTE.

Description

  • HEX: Takes one 32 bit unsigned integer number and returns an 8 chars str containing the HEX string representation.
  • HEX16: Takes one 16 bit unsigned integer number and returns a 4 chars str containing the HEX string representation.
  • HEX8: Takes one 8 bit unsigned integer number and returns a 2 chars str containing the HEX string representation.

Requirements

HEX, HEX16 and HEX8 can be included with the following command:

1
#include <hex.bas>

Remarks

  • This function is not available in Sinclair BASIC.
  • Avoid recursive / multiple inclusion when calling this function.
  • HEX16 ad HEX8 both call HEX to perform conversion, but differ in the size of the string they return.
