How to Convert ASCII Text to Hexadecimal.

Understanding the Hex encoding.

Hexadecimal (base-16) is frequently used in computer science to display data in a shorter, more human-readable format than raw binary.

Converting text to hexadecimal involves looking up the ASCII decimal value of each character, and then converting that decimal value into a 2-digit hex code.

ASCII to Hex steps.

1. Take a character from your string (e.g. 'V').
2. Look up its decimal character code: 86.
3. Convert the decimal code (86) to hexadecimal:
   86 ÷ 16 = 5 with remainder 6 ➔ hex character is 56₁₆
4. Write down the resulting 2-digit hex sequence: 56.
5. Repeat this process for every character in the string.
