To represent a day’s date in hexadecimal digits, follow these steps:
- Break Down the Date: Separate the year, month, and day components of the date.
- Convert Each Component:
- Year (YYYY): Convert from decimal to hexadecimal.
- Month (MM): Convert from decimal to hexadecimal; months above 9 are represented by letters A-F.
- Day (DD): Convert from decimal to hexadecimal, ensuring days above 9 are represented by letters A-F.
- Concatenate the Hexadecimal Values: Combine the hexadecimal representations of year, month, and day without separators.
Example: For October 5, 2023:
– Year: 2023 → 7E7
– Month: 10 → A
– Day: 5 → 5
Hexadecimal Date Representation: 7E7A05
