The odd thing I've found in my experience is that hex is thought to be taught to everyone in grade school. None of the schools I attended from elementary to high school (in the US) taught hexadecimal. I learned that in my CS courses once I started college.
- khedoros 11y agoI remember doing some radix conversions before college, but with no particular emphasis on base-16. The same material in CS courses mainly focused on bases 2, 8, 10, and 16, of course.
- spike021 11y agoYeah, my CS courses covered 2, 8, 10, and 16 as well. I think one class used some other bases for a project, but I wouldn't say it was a particular focus.
