Hi, I need to set up an array where the indices are hexadecimal numbers. Is there any way i can do this without converting the hexadecimal numbers into decimal first?

thanks for any help
 
A hexadecimal number is just as good as a decimal number. When your program is compiled, it's exactly the same as a decimal numer : It's converted to some binary stuff.

Hexadecimal is only a notation used to please the human eye / brain (Much easyer to read than binary (Like 1001001)).

MyArray[0x0f] is the same as MyArray[15]
Use whatever you prefer.
