How can I convert a string containing a hex number such as "6b"
to a hex digit that mathematica can use to do math with?
I have tried using ToExpression["6b"]
but that just give me another string.
Note: Java's BigInteger
class can construct hex integers from strings. Is there something like this in mathematica?
Answer
The function converting strings to integer is FromDigits
. It is the counterpart of IntegerString
and both functions can be used with whatever basis you like. Therefore, if you want to convert from base 16 you do
FromDigits["6b", 16]
