Input as the hexadecimal number

39 views (last 30 days)
Is it possible to enter directly the hexadecimal number without the conversion to decimal number and perform all the hexadecimal operation like AND,OR, XOR?
For example a = 0x53656174 , b = 0x454B5350
c = bitand(a,b)
how to represent the hexadecimal number in matlab?

Unfortunately, there is no support for hexadecimal literals. The best you can do is:
a = hex2dec('3656174');
b = hex2dec('454B5350');
However, there is support for displaying in hexadecimal:
format hex
c = bitand(a, b)

Thanks for your tips.
BTW, how about the floating point format such as single (float32), double (float64), or CustomFloat?

Since R2019b it is possible to directly enter literal hexadecimal and binary numeric values:
0x2A
ans = uint8 42
0b101010
ans = uint8 42
