You don't understand how R works:
x <- as.numeric("0x1AF0")produces an number, not its decimal representation. A number is a number is a number irrepsective of the the base of its character representation.
to dothe opposite-use hex notation to represent a decimal. e.g. x<-0x000A y<-0x0001 x+y=0x00B

Hello world: Has anyone used hex notation within R to represents integers?
That's a spectacularly vague question. Short answer: yes.
as.numeric("0x1AF0")[1] 6896
(which BTW is system-dependent, but one person used it as you asked).
PLEASE read the posting guide and try for a `smarter' question.
