I do know, I was asking if you know. I'm assuming you do, so it's just a matter of turning that into code. The easiest way is to iterate over each element in the hex string (I'm assuming you're using a string for this) and search for that digit in a pre-defined array of elements 1-9, A-F (where each element is at the index corresponding to its decimal equivalent). There are much better ways of doing it that allow any base -> any base, but for hex -> dec only it's faster to just hard-code in the array. |
