JavaScript | Convert decimal to hexadecimal and vice versa

JavaScript | Convert decimal to hexadecimal and hexadecimal to decimal: Here, we are going to learn by example how to convert decimal value to the hexadecimal value and vice versa in JavaScript?
Submitted by IncludeHelp, on February 01, 2019

Sometimes we need to convert an integer value which is in decimal format to the hexadecimal string in JavaScript or need a decimal value from a given hexadecimal string.

In such cases, we can convert a decimal value to the hexadecimal string by using the number.toString(16) and hexadecimal string to the decimal by using hex_string.parseInt(16).

In both cases, 16 is the base to the number system that says that target or source value format is hexadecimal.

Example:

<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScipt Example</title>
</head>

<body>
	<script>		
		var a = 10;
		var b = 12345;
		
		document.write("a = " + a.toString(16) + "<br>");
		document.write("b = " + b.toString(16) + "<br>");
		
		//conver hexadecimal string to the int again
		var hex = "0A"; //hex of 10
		var dec = parseInt(hex,16);
		document.write("dec = " + dec + "<br>");
	</script>
</body>
</html>

Output

a = a
b = 3039
dec = 10
