You got it wrong man, you missed out the 0 for 10. Otherwise, there are only 15 digits, not 16. HEXA (6) Decimal (10), together (Hexadecimal), meaning 16.
No man, you get it wrong... and please dont take it personally, I'm sure I'm right and I can explain it.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 -A -B -C- -D- E- F-
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Look, 100 is 10² ; 99 is 10²-1
Same thing for Hexa, 100 is 16² = 256
FF is 16²-1 = 256-1 = 255
Look, the picture explains it, you got F*16^1 + F*16^0 = 15*16 + 15*1 = 240 + 15 = 255
Next step would be 1*16² + 0*16^1 + 0*16^0 = 256
A would be 10*16^0 = 10*1 heh, I thought I'd need another example so I put it there
I hope I've proven myself a smartass better now
