===== HEX  =====

===== SYNTAX =====
     = HEX(expression)

==== PURPOSE ====

The ''HEX'' statement is used to convert a decimal number to a hexadecimal number. 
Hexadecimal, or base 16, is a numbering system that uses 16 digits (0 through 9 and 
the letters A through F) to represent numbers. 

This system is widely used in 
computing, especially to represent memory addresses, colors, and character codes.
Moreover, it is a concise way of representing binary numbers, which are the basis 
of how computers work, and bit-level operations are often easier to display and 
manipulate in hexadecimal.

The ''expression'' is the value you want to convert to hexadecimal, and it must
be an integer value. The ''HEX'' statement will return a string representing 
the hexadecimal value corresponding to the input number. The length of the 
returned string depends on the size (in bytes) of ''expression''.



==== EXAMPLE ====
    x = HEX( 42 )
