and with a bit of factoring... put addHex( "20F", "4CD") function addHex v1, v2 local d1, d2 put baseConvert( v1,16,10) into d1 put baseConvert( v2,16,10) into d2 return baseconvert( d1 + d2, 10, 16) end addHex Thierry 2016-05-03 18:13 GMT+02:00 Devin Asay

Richmond. LC cannot add "20F" to "4CD". You need to use "baseConvert". Not onerous at all, really. Craig -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Doing-Maths-in-Hex-tp4704028p4704160.html Sent from the Revoluti

Re: Doing Maths in Hex

When I did my IP subnet calculator, there were some things that required binary, like determining what part of the IP address was the network address, and other operations required decimal. Of course, that was a unique problem as each octet is a discreet value, and not part of a *total*

Doing Maths in Hex

Is it possible for Livecode to do Mathematics in Hexadecimal? Or, am I going to have to shove Hex numbers through a Hex-to-Decimal meat grinder, do the Math(s) and then shove the result through a Decimal-to-Hex meat grinder . . . . . . all going to be a pain-in-the-b quite frankly
