Get Hexadecimal Method

The Get Hexadecimal Method returns the hexadecimal representation of the value in the number argument. It returns this value in a string. If the value in the number argument:

• Is an integer. The return string contains up to four hexadecimal digits.
• Is not an integer. This method converts the value to a long integer, and the string can contain up to eight hexadecimal digits.

You precede the hexadecimal value with the following characters to express a hexadecimal number:

&H

For example, &H10 equals decimal 16 in hexadecimal notation.

Format
