Return a string containing a hexadecimal represention of the give number.
The HEX$ function conceptually performs decimal to hexadecimal conversion. As you probably know, the computer works with binary numbers in reality. Anyway, the given number is used to generate a 4-character hexString. Unlike the similar STR$ function, this one is a cry-baby; HEX$ has a very limited domain and the result will often include leading zeros. You will get TYPE MISMATCH ERROR with a string expression or variable given for the number (the VAL function may help). A floating-point number will be converted to an integer (see INT). An ILLEGAL QUANTITY ERROR is generated if the number is not a Legal Value (see table above). Examples:
PRINT HEX$("65")
?TYPE MISMATCH ERROR
READY.
PRINT HEX$(65)
0041
READY.
PRINT HEX$(65.6)
0041
READY.
PRINT HEX$(-65.6)
?ILLEGAL QUANTITY ERROR
READY.
PRINT HEX$(65E6)
?ILLEGAL QUANTITY ERROR
READY.
