Arbitrary precision decimal/hexadecimal converter.
npm install hex2dec
Arbitrary precision decimal↔️hexadecimal converter, from a blog post by Dan Vanderkam. Supports non-negative integer values.
``
npm install --save hex2dec
`javascript
var converter = require('hex2dec');
var dec = converter.hexToDec('0xFA'); // 250
var hex = converter.decToHex('250'); // '0xfa'
var hexString = converter.decToHex('250', { prefix: false }); // 'fa'
`
(250).toString(16) === 'fa' and 250 === 0xFA` both work just fine, and will provide enough precision for most uses. For large (>64-bit) numbers, however, precision is lost. This utility provides a higher-precision alternative.
