Tally Marks to Hexadecimal Converter
Ever been stuck trying to count a bunch of tally marks, only to realize you need the number in hexadecimal? Yeah, we’ve all been there. Maybe you’re working on a coding project, designing a game, or just love nerding out with numbers. Whatever the reason, manually converting tally marks to hexadecimal can feel like solving a puzzle blindfolded. But don’t worry—this Tally Marks to Hexadecimal Converter is here to save the day! Just type in your tally marks (you know, those little lines you’ve been scribbling), and voilà—instant hexadecimal magic. It’s like having a math wizard in your pocket, minus the pointy hat. Let’s make your life easier, one tally mark at a time!
How It Works
This tool is as simple as counting tally marks but way cooler. Here’s how it works:
- You enter your tally marks using the pipe symbol
|(e.g.,|||| ||||). - The tool counts each
|as one tally mark. - It then converts the total count into its hexadecimal equivalent.
For example, if you type |||| ||||, the tool counts 8 tally marks and converts it to 8 in hexadecimal. But if you type |||| |||| |||| ||||, it counts 16 tally marks and converts it to 10 in hexadecimal (because 16 in decimal is 10 in hexadecimal). Easy, right?
