I’m asking this because data in game cartridges always seem to be shown in hexadecimal values instead of binary. I reckon maybe hexadecimal is more convenient than binary.
In: Technology
Hexadecimal is merely a representation of data; there’s nothing special about the nature of hexadecimal compared to other formats. It doesn’t enable data compression or anything like that.
The reason we often use binary notation when discussing values of bit-related things like bytes is simply because it makes the most sense. … And this fits nicely into our 8-bit bytes: two hex digits can represent every value of a byte
