Decimal-to-hex habits for a slow learner

2 replies · opened AUG 7 ago

ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION
I understand hex until somebody asks me a question out loud. Then $d020 becomes “that border number.”

Did fluency just arrive through repetition, or did you use a particular cheat sheet or exercise?
REPLY #1
Memorize the powers and the common register addresses. The rest gets easier through use; there is no prize for doing every conversion mentally.
REPLY #2
I wrote 0–255 in decimal/hex on paper once. Tedious, weirdly effective, never doing it again.

Want to add to this transmission?
