By assigning a symbol to each of these combinations, we arrive at a notation called sexadecimal (usually "hex" in conversation because nobody wants to abbreviate "sex"). The symbols in the sexadecimal language are the ten decimal digits and on the G-15 typewriter, the letters "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", and "z". These are arbitrary markings; other computers may use different alphabet characters for these last six digits.}}</ref> <ref name="Illiac-I">{{cite web |title=ILLIAC Programming β A Guide to the Preparation of Problems For Solution by the University of Illinois Digital Computer |author-first1=S. |author-last1=Gill |author-first2=R.

Some points to keep in mind (from the policy at [[WP:EL]], http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:External_links): * The "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links ... is not a reason to add them. * Links to be avoided: ** Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article might contain... ** Links mainly intended to promote a website ** Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject Since the article is about hexadecimal representation and mentions standard tools for conversion only as a minor example, there is little any external link to an online calculator or converter could possibly add to the reader's knowledge. + + But a online calculator and or converter does "provide a unique resource beyond what the article contains" What's the harm in linking to a good page rather than making the user search for one and finding a the poor one? ~~~~ --> [[Category:Binary arithmetic]] [[Category:Hexadecimal numeral system]] [[Category:Power-of-two numeral systems]] [[Category:Positional numeral systems]]
