![]() Base 16, also known as hexa (six) decimal (ten) to count higher by adding six letters afterwards. We normally use base 10, or decimal, counting-0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9-to represent what our core numbers are. However, it'd be really long, arduous and confusing to type out nothing but 0 and 1s all day! Therefore, rather than noting things simply by one on/off switch over and over, that can be compressed by using base 16 counting. This is how all things are programmed-by a series of small switches that add up to show bigger pictures. That would leave us with 1111 to represent the lamps. Remember how we assigned 1 to on and 0 to off? Let's say we turn all four lamps on. If you think back to elementary school math, you can figure out that that leaves 16 possibilities for different on/off combinations. Now, let's say you have four lamps, all that have switches on them.Īny of these can be on or off at any time. This is binary only two numbers exist in our lamp-numbering world. We'll assign the lamp the number 1 when it's switched on and the number 0 when it's off. When you flip the switch, the light comes on when you flip it off, it goes off. When you program something-anything-what you essentially are doing are setting a series of switches for something. 2 How is this relevant to Sonic hacking?. ![]()
