reading hexadecimal

[Jacobhaha]

can you please tell me how to convert large hexadecimal numbers like this

0x78ABCDEF

or

0x12345678

. to decimal. I have searched for it for a while but no guide explains it in these large numbers

What do you mean by read? Read from where?

[Jacobhaha]

sorry i mean convert it to decimal numbers.

You still need to be more specific. Do you mean convert it to decimal, on paper? If you mean into a C or C++ program you should show some code that illustrates the question.

Here is a link that explains hexadecimal numbers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

I just want to be able to figure out what they are in decimal whether its on paper or not.

Then I suggest you start with the link I provided. If that doesn't explain the issue in enough detail I suggest you search for "hexadecimal numbers" with the search engine of your choice.

Here is a beginners tutorial that is very very basic with a video even. http://www.wikihow.com/Understand-Hexadecimal
