Syntax
Usage

result = WHex( number [, digits ] )

Parameters

number
A whole number or expression evaluating to a whole number.
digits
Optional number of digits to return.

Return Value

Returns a hexadecimal WString representation of number, truncated or padded with zeros ("0") to fit the number of digits, if specified.

Description

Hexadecimal digits range from 0-9, or A-F.

If you specify digits > 0, the resulting WString will be exactly that length. It will be truncated or padded with zeros on the left, if necessary.

The length of the wstring will not go longer than the maximum number of digits required for the type of expression (8 for a Long, 16 for floating point or LongInt)

Example

Print Hex(54321)
Print Hex(54321, 2)
Print Hex(54321, 5)

will produce the output:

D431
31
0D431
