hexadecimal is a representation of a number, but in a different
base that you (humans) are used to. you have a number of bases,
being:
base 2: binary 0 or 1
base 8: octal 0,1,2,3,4,5,6, or 7
base 10: decimal 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9
base 16: hexadecimal 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E or F
the numbers you are referring to are:
0xFF ->> 255 decimal
0xFFFF ->> 65535 decimal
binary, octal and hexadecimal are loved by computers..
you can convert between them using the calculator that comes
with Windows.. just change to the scientific mode.
hope this helps :>
