SUMMARY
The HEX$(n) function converts a number n to a string in hexadecimal notation.

To convert a hexadecimal-notation string (x$) back to a numeric value from x$ = HEX$(n), use VAL(&quot;&H&quot; + x$).

The OCT$(n) function converts a number n to a string in octal notation.

To convert a octal-notation string (x$) back to a numeric value from x$ = OCT$(n), use VAL(&quot;&O&quot; + x$).
