MATLAB: Input as the hexadecimal number

input as the hexadecimal number

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)

The MATLAB function DEC2HEX returns the hexadecimal representation of a decimal integer as a string. If this value is passed as an argument to your MEX routine, it will be passed as a string and not as a hexadecimal number. In the C-MEX routine, you will need to parse the string and write your own routine to convert this string into a hexadecimal number.

Similarly, if you want to pass a hexadecimal number from C to MATLAB, you will have to pass the string representation of the hexadecimal number to MATLAB. You can then use HEX2DEC function to convert the string into a decimal number.

Hi Jed Louise Lesma,

Despite the extra bracket in your code (I removed it), the method you tried should work:

a = '3afb';
b = '2839';
c=dec2hex(hex2dec(a)+hex2dec(b));

Kind regards,

Robert
