Can you explain how octal and hexadecimal work?
Sure! Octal is a base-8 numeral system, meaning it uses eight digits to represent numbers. Hexadecimal is a base-16 numeral system, meaning it uses 16 digits to represent numbers. In both systems, each digit represents a power of the base, starting from 0 on the right and increasing by one for each subsequent digit.
